See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 73 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 4.3 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 176 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 2015, with 9 hail days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 14 days since 2022, against 4.9 a year before that.
16 of the 73 days reached 2 inches or more -- 22%, or about one hail day in 5, the last on 2025-08-11. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in May, not June. 35 of the 73 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
