See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 32 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.9 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 64 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 2 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2019, with 5 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 9 days since 2022.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 2 of the 32 days on record passed it, 6%, the last on 2011-06-08. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in June, not August. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 5 of the 32 days.
