See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 29 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.7 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 43 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 5 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2011, with 5 hail days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 5 days since 2022, against 2.0 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 29 days on record passed it, 3%, the last on 2017-03-30. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in March, not June. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 5 of the 29 days.
