See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 13 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 0.8 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 23 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 10 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2016 alone produced 3 of the 13 days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 1 days since 2022, against 1.0 a year before that.
2 of the 13 days reached 2 inches or more -- 15%, or about one hail day in 6, the last on 2021-03-18. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in March, not April. More than half of every hail day on record here -- 8 of 13 -- reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
