See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 15 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 0.9 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 23 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 7 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2026, with 2 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 5 days since 2022.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 15 days on record passed it, 7%, the last on 2011-06-08. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in June, not April. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 2 of the 15 days.
