See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 30 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.8 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 53 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 3 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2017, with 4 hail days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 5 days since 2022, against 2.1 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 30 days on record passed it, 3%, the last on 2022-05-06. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in May, not June. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 3 of the 30 days.
