Hail in Itasca County, Minnesota

A complex of thunderstorms moved across the Northland the night of the 20th into the 21st. A warm front was draped across the region and led to a first round of storms moving to the northeast. This was quickly followed by an eastward moving line of storms. Large to very large hail was seen with the first line of storms including a 3 inch hail report just south of Grand Rapids. The second line was more of a damaging wind producing system with a recorded gust of 61 mph at the Brainerd airport as the line moved through.
