See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 17 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.0 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 32 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 9 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2012 alone produced 5 of the 17 days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 3 days since 2022, against 1.2 a year before that.
2 of the 17 days reached 2 inches or more -- 12%, or about one hail day in 8, the last on 2012-07-04. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in July, not May.
