See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 29 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.7 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 55 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 2 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 6 days since 2022.
3 of the 29 days reached 2 inches or more -- 10%, or about one hail day in 10, the last on 2023-03-26. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not March. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 7 of the 29 days.
