See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 18 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.1 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 36 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 6 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2024, with 3 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 6 days since 2022.
Roof-killing hail is routine here: 5 of the 18 days reached 2 inches or more, 28% of them, the last on 2026-04-26. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in May, not April. 7 of the 18 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
