See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 14 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 0.8 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 34 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 8 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2011 alone produced 4 of the 14 days. The last five years have run hotter than the long-run rate: 6 days since 2022, against 0.7 a year before that.
2 of the 14 days reached 2 inches or more -- 14%, or about one hail day in 7, the last on 2026-04-15. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not May. 6 of the 14 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
