See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 25 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.5 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 57 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 4 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2016, with 4 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 6 days since 2022.
5 of the 25 days reached 2 inches or more -- 20%, or about one hail day in 5, the last on 2022-04-17. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not May. 9 of the 25 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
