See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 36 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 2.1 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 69 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 2024, with 6 hail days. The last five years have run hotter than the long-run rate: 15 days since 2022, against 1.8 a year before that.
Roof-killing hail is routine here: 9 of the 36 days reached 2 inches or more, 25% of them, the last on 2026-05-10. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not May. 17 of the 36 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
