See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 27 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.6 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 60 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 3 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2025 alone produced 6 of the 27 days. The last five years have run hotter than the long-run rate: 12 days since 2022, against 1.2 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 2 of the 27 days on record passed it, 7%, the last on 2025-06-09. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in June, not July. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 4 of the 27 days.
