See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 39 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 2.3 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 86 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 4 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2012, with 5 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 9 days since 2022.
4 of the 39 days reached 2 inches or more -- 10%, or about one hail day in 10, the last on 2016-06-19. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in August, not June. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 9 of the 39 days.
