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 31 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 7 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.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 17 days on record passed it, 6%, the last on 2025-04-02. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not May. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 4 of the 17 days.
