Hail falls in Belle Plaine, Minnesota
Pebble-sized hail fell in Belle Plaine, Minnesota. Some area, like Lonsdale, saw hail larger than golf balls.
The storms in that area were part of a front that has moved through during the evening hours. Along with hail, there were also reports of strong winds as the storms moved east.
The storms came as a severe thunderstorm watch was in effect for much of southern Minnesota. That watch remains until 1 a.m. But, as the evening goes on, the severe weather will continue to push southeast towards Iowa.
