See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 17 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.0 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 46 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 6 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2017, with 3 hail days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 2 days since 2022, against 1.2 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 17 days on record passed it, 6%, the last on 2024-04-14. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not May.
