See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 43 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 2.5 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 74 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. Exactly one year since 2010 passed with no reported hail day at all. The busiest single year was 2021, with 5 hail days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 8 days since 2022, against 2.9 a year before that.
8 of the 43 days reached 2 inches or more -- 19%, or about one hail day in 5, 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. More than half of every hail day on record here -- 23 of 43 -- reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
