See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 15 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 0.9 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 20 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 9 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2012 alone produced 3 of the 15 days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 1 days since 2022, against 1.2 a year before that.
2 of the 15 days reached 2 inches or more -- 13%, or about one hail day in 8, the last on 2011-04-15. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not March. 5 of the 15 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
