See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 20 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.2 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 32 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 6 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2019, with 3 hail days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 3 days since 2022, against 1.4 a year before that.
2 of the 20 days reached 2 inches or more -- 10%, or about one hail day in 10, the last on 2015-04-08. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not May. More than half of every hail day on record here -- 10 of 20 -- reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
