Storm Drops Hail on Truckee Meadows

Tap image to view slide show.

Waking up to hail in Reno! Early this morning, around 4:45AM, some strong thunderstorms moved through the Truckee Meadows.

Many people in NW Reno saw rain, wind, and even hail.

There wasn't any damage with the hail only getting up to 1/2" in diameter, but in some spots the hail was heavy enough to cover the ground.

Rain fell early this morning at a rate up to about .5” per hour.

That is heavy enough to reduce visibility for early morning commuters.

A few more thunderstorms are expected through the rest of this morning but things should settle down this afternoon.

Please send your pictures of the hail to POST’N SHARE.
