See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 44 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 2.6 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 92 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 3 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2025, with 5 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 13 days since 2022.
Roof-killing hail is routine here: 11 of the 44 days reached 2 inches or more, 25% of them, the last on 2026-04-28. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not May. More than half of every hail day on record here -- 26 of 44 -- reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
