See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 27 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.6 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 44 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 4 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2011 alone produced 7 of the 27 days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 8 days since 2022.
3 of the 27 days reached 2 inches or more -- 11%, or about one hail day in 9, the last on 2023-09-23. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in March, not April. 12 of the 27 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
