See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 42 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 2.5 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 98 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 2 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2019, with 6 hail days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 5 days since 2022, against 3.1 a year before that.
Roof-killing hail is routine here: 11 of the 42 days reached 2 inches or more, 26% of them, the last on 2025-06-08. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in June, not May. More than half of every hail day on record here -- 21 of 42 -- reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
