See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 18 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.1 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 24 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 6 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2025, with 3 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 6 days since 2022.
2 of the 18 days reached 2 inches or more -- 11%, or about one hail day in 9, the last on 2017-03-27. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in March, not April. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 3 of the 18 days.
