Hail History in Johnson City — and What It Means for Your Roof Budget
County-level NOAA Storm Events archives record 14 hail events near Johnson City over the past decade — hail reaching 1.75″ at its peak (archive last updated 2024-05-08). At 14 recorded events over ten years, hail is a periodic rather than annual Johnson City risk — but stones reaching 1.75″ can bruise shingles and damage flashing. Whether the 10–20% Class 4 upcharge makes sense depends on how long you plan to hold the roof. Verify your own address risk at hail risk lookup.
Hail Events by Year in Johnson City's County (NOAA)
| Year | Recorded hail events | Largest hail that year |
|---|---|---|

| 2023 | 2 | 1.25″ |
| 2022 | 3 | 1.75″ |

| 2020 | 1 | 1.00″ |
| 2019 | 1 | 1.00″ |

Put in Tennessee context: Johnson City's county logged 0.5× the hail-event count of the median Tennessee county we track (26 events over the same 10 years) — a lighter hail record than most of the state, so age and UV wear drive more Johnson City replacements than storms do.
