The following events were reported: Hail, Heavy Rain, Thunderstorm Wind. These occurred near station USW00014922, approximately 25.7223 km away, between 2020-08-09 18:00:00 and 2020-08-10 06:00:00. The events included records with hailstones measuring 9.6152 inches.Thankfully, no injuries or fatalities were reported. The events caused property damage valued at 1700000.0 and crop damage of 0.0. Episode Narrative: During the evening of Sunday, August 9th, a storm developed in Carver County, west of the NWS office. Several more storms developed and trained over the same areas that affected eastern Carver, far northern Scott, and southern Hennepin Counties for an hour. The storms were difficult to recognize the severity at first as they developed nearly overhead from the radar location in Chanhassen. ||Once the storms weakened over southern Hennepin County, more storms reformed northwest of the Twin Cities, and again produced very large hail around Buffalo, Montrose, Hanover, Rockford, and Loretto. These storms propagated east-southeast toward the western suburbs of the Twin Cities and produced damaging hail between Lake Minnetonka, Eden Prairie and Edina. Slowly, the storms began to propagate to the southeast across south-central Minnesota, by the early morning. ||There was a period where hailstones were as large as baseballs (based on pictures from social media) across the western metro area. The two areas that had pictures of the largest stones were Loretto and Victoria.||Based on social media pictures, radar, and MRMS information, there were four areas that likely had hail up to baseball size hail, or possibly greater. The first area was the southern part of Kanabec County. The second area was from southeast Wright County, eastward across Hennepin between Lake Minnetonka to Edina. The third area was near Jordan, southeast to Lydia in Scott County. The fourth area was along the Dakota, Rice County line near Northfield.||Another unique part of these storms is that the hail was nearly continuous for 5 to 15 minutes, and some of the larger hailstones caused significant damage to cars and roofs.||In addition to all of the hail reports, several lines of thunderstorms that continued over the same areas, produced a wide area of very heavy rainfall reports with the heaviest at the NWS office at 5.53 inches. Reports between two and four inches that weren't included in the event were concentrated between Victoria, Chanhassen, Shakopee, Eden Prairie, Bloomington and Lake Minnetonka. During the evening of Sunday, August 9th, a storm developed in Carver County, west of the NWS office. Event Narrative: There were a few reports of large hail, the largest measuring golf ball size, occurred west of Hanover, to the community of Hanover, and moved eastward over the Wright, Hennepin County line. There were numerous reports of large hail, the largest measured at 2 inches in diameter, occurred across Wright County. Based on radar, and observations, there was a swath of hail between Buffalo, and Montrose, including the towns, that moved eastward toward the Hennepin County line near Rockford. There was also likely large hail west of Buffalo but due to the time of night and the rural area, there were no reports and is not included here. There were numerous reports of very large hail, up to tennis ball size, that occurred from Rockford, east-southeast along Highway 55, toward Medina, and eastward to Plymouth. The largest hailstone was measured in the town of Loretto where the 2.5-inch diameter hail fell around 2325 LST. Damage was reported to roofs and cars. Spotters reported one inch hail, but the size and severity of the hailstones decreased after 2345 LST as the storm moved toward a more populated area of the Twin Cities metro area. However, as the severity of the hail decreased, more downbursts and straight-line winds started to develop. There were a few reports of large hail, up to golf ball size, the occurred around Edina and Richfield. Local radar indicated that the hail was likely more widespread in southern Hennepin County but due to the time of night it wasn't reported. There were also reports of tree limbs blown down across the area where the hail fell. There were two reports of large hail in Scott County, the largest was in Spring Lake Township where a 1.75-inch diameter hailstone was measured. Radar indicated that the largest and most widespread area of hail fell south and east of Prior Lake, toward the Scott, Dakota County line. This was the largest hailstone reported in Dakota County from this set of storms. Radar indicated that the hail was likely largest in size and areal extent from Eagan, eastward to Inver Grove Heights, and toward the Dakota, Washington County line. There was likely severe hail east into Hennepin County but the time of night and rural area kept reports minimal. There was a picture of a 1.5-inch hailstone in Northfield. There was likely larger hail to the west and north of Robbinsdale as local radar had higher returns in this area. A trained spotter next to the airport reported numerous trees down and large street lights blown down on Flying Cloud Drive. This is a continuation line of severe hail, up to golf ball size, that moved out of Wright County near Hanover, eastward to between Roger and Corcoran. Residents and spotters just southeast of Hanover reported the hail was up to golf ball size. A large tree was uprooted near the intersection of West 84th Street, and Stanley Avenue South. There was also a measured wind report of 55 mph near the area from a private weather station. A measured rainfall report of 4.47 inches in Chanhassen. A measured rainfall report of 4.72 inches in Chanhassen. A measured rainfall report of 5.53 inches in Chanhassen. A measured rainfall report of 4.52 inches in Victoria. A measured rainfall report of 4.59 inches in Chanhassen. A measured rainfall report of 4.83 inches in Eden Prairie. A measured rainfall report of 4.20 inches at the Flying Cloud Airport. A few dents were noted in gutters and downspouts. Two trained spotters reported hail on the north side of Northfield, and both provided photographs of the hail. Trained spotters reported 1.00 to 1.25 inch hail from northern Richfield to the extreme eastern part of Bloomington, just south of MSP International Airport. About one dozen trees and large branches were knocked down, all blown from east to west. Numerous sources from social media pictures, to trained spotters and official NWS observations, reported and measured very large hail for nearly 40 minutes from Victoria, eastward to the Carver, Hennepin County line. This includes some of the smaller communities between the two towns. ||The largest hailstone was measured at 2.75 inches in diameter and fell near Victoria. Two inch hail was measured at the NWS office. Due to the large hail size and almost a continuous line of storms redeveloping in the same areas, many roofs and cars were damaged. Numerous sources from social media pictures to trained spotters reported and measured very large hail for nearly 35 minutes from the Carver, Hennepin County line east to Eden Prairie, and Bloomington. The largest hailstone was measured at 1.25 inches in diameter and fell in West Bloomington. Radar suggested larger hail was possible, but there were no pictures or observations to indicate any larger hailstones. Many roofs and cars were damaged. Severe hail slowly decreased in size as it moved across Bloomington, with the largest measured hail size of 1.25 inches.
