Enid hail storm history
Garfield County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag
Enid, located in Garfield County, has experienced 10 hail events of 1 inch or larger over the past 10 years, averaging 1.0 event per year. The city sits in the heart of Tornado Alley where the dryline, jet stream, and Gulf moisture converge to produce intense supercell thunderstorms capable of generating large hail.
Hail season in Enid peaks from April through June, with May historically producing the most damaging large-hail events in the region. The most recent event occurred on September 21, 2025, though this falls outside the typical peak window. Three significant events of 1.5 inches or larger have been recorded in the past 10 years, with the largest documented hailstone measuring 2 inches in diameter.

Hail event reporting in Enid relies on NOAA's Storm Events Database, which captures reports from trained spotters, emergency management officials, and broadcast media. The number of documented events may undercount actual hail occurrences in less-populated areas of Garfield County or events causing only minor damage. Current-year data is excluded from the annual frequency table until October, when NOAA's Storm Events Database has processed the full hail season accounting for the standard 75-day reporting lag.
