See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 23 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.4 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 49 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 5 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2015, with 4 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 5 days since 2022.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 23 days on record passed it, 4%, the last on 2018-05-21. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in May, not June. 7 of the 23 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
