See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 34 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 2.0 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 65 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 2021, with 5 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 9 days since 2022.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 3 of the 34 days on record passed it, 9%, the last on 2023-06-17. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in March, not April. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 6 of the 34 days.
