See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 37 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 2.2 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 51 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 2 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2017, with 5 hail days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 6 days since 2022, against 2.6 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 2 of the 37 days on record passed it, 5%, the last on 2020-03-03. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in February, not March. 10 of the 37 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
