NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 31 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.8 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 75 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. Exactly one year since 2010 passed with no reported hail day at all. The busiest single year was 2022, with 3 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 9 days since 2022.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 2 of the 31 days on record passed it, 6%, the last on 2026-07-20. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in July, not June. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 6 of the 31 days.
