A powerful and quick-moving storm swept through the Twin Cities metro area Sunday night, dumping golf ball-sized hail across a swath starting in Plymouth, swooping through Golden Valley, Roseville and downtown St. Paul, meteorologists said.
Dan Hawblitzel, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service Twin Cities office, said the storm brought with it 50 to 65 mph winds. Another storm was striking the southwestern metro about 8:30 p.m. after the first storm had left, prompting warnings in parts of Carver and Scott counties.
There were reports of sporadic tree damage, he said.
