See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 32 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.9 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 54 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. Exactly one year since 2010 passed with no reported hail day at all. The busiest single year was 2016, with 4 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 11 days since 2022.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 32 days on record passed it, 3%, the last on 2016-03-17. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in March, not April. 11 of the 32 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
