See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 41 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 2.4 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 175 separate reports between them, better than three on a typical one. Exactly one year since 2010 passed with no reported hail day at all. The busiest single year was 2023, with 6 hail days. The last five years have run hotter than the long-run rate: 17 days since 2022, against 2.0 a year before that.
7 of the 41 days reached 2 inches or more -- 17%, or about one hail day in 6, the last on 2024-04-09. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not May. 13 of the 41 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
