See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 19 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.1 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 48 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 7 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2016 alone produced 4 of the 19 days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 2 days since 2022, against 1.4 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 19 days on record passed it, 5%, the last on 2012-07-01. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in July, not June. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 3 of the 19 days.
