See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 20 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.2 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 26 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 6 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2011 alone produced 4 of the 20 days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 3 days since 2022, against 1.4 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 20 days on record passed it, 5%, the last on 2016-11-29. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in November, not March. 5 of the 20 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
