See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 30 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.8 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 69 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 5 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 11 days since 2022.
3 of the 30 days reached 2 inches or more -- 10%, or about one hail day in 10, the last on 2024-06-12. 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 30 days.
