(FOX 9) - Some rumbling thunderstorms brought hail to the Twin Cities area Tuesday night.
After a night of storms across the state Monday, the Twin Cities area braced for a new round of storms that could drop over an inch of rain by Wednesday morning.
By early Tuesday evening, FOX 9 viewers reported seeing hail in the area. Photos showed pebble-sized hail in Elk River. One viewer in Inver Grove Heights sent in video of hail piling up on their porch as the it rolled off the roof.
Storms moved across the north Twin Cities metro area Monday afternoon with a quick blast of heavy rain, thunder and lightning. The storms were not severe, but rather a "loud/quick gulley washer," said FOX 9 Chief Meteorologist Ian Leonard.
