See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 14 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 0.8 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 24 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 8 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2026, with 2 hail days. The last five years have run hotter than the long-run rate: 6 days since 2022, against 0.7 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 14 days on record passed it, 7%, the last on 2017-04-22. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not March. 4 of the 14 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
