Episode Narrative Thunderstorms developed late Monday evening, April 2nd, across the southern portions of the Twin Cities Metro Area. Low freezing levels and an inverted trough of low pressure that extended across eastern Minnesota, allowed for the formation of thunderstorms, some of which produced up to quarter size hail. However, the majority of the hail size was less than one inch in diameter. These storms drifted east-northeast across west central Wisconsin after midnight.
