See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 15 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 0.9 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 20 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: 2025 alone produced 5 of the 15 days. The last five years have run hotter than the long-run rate: 9 days since 2022, against 0.5 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 15 days on record passed it, 7%, the last on 2024-05-24. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in May, not March. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 2 of the 15 days.
