Pea- to marble-sized hail pelted parts of Faribault County in southern Minnesota, and rain was heavy, Sheriff Scott Adams said.“A heavy downpour -- it became extremely dark out,” he said.

The National Weather Service reported receiving multiple reports of tornadoes near the small town of Winnebago, Minnesota, about 110 miles (177 kilometers) southwest of Minneapolis-St. Paul. But Adams said the reports weren’t confirmed and there appeared to be no wind damage as of Monday evening.Melissa Dye, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s office in the Twin Cities, said spotters likely saw “gustnados,” which are small whirlwinds that form during thunderstorms but are not connected to a cloud base, as a tornado. She said they can look like tornadoes because of they kick up dust and debris.Dye said spotting a tornado would be difficult because they’d be wrapped by the rain.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul area appeared to largely skirt the worst of the weather.“Any severe threat is pretty much done for the metro area,” she said Monday evening.

She said there is still some storm activity in the Albert Lea area, just north of the Iowa border.

The Storm Prediction Center said a lesser potential for severe weather extended as far south as parts of Texas and Oklahoma.She’s one of several young NWSL players who have launched their careers in an ever-growing women’s soccer ecosystem that offers a variety of professional pathways.

While Meza considered the loan a blow at the time, now she sees the value in it.“Ultimately, it was an opportunity for me to learn prove to myself, which is the most important, and to prove to everybody else that I was a player that I’ve always been. It just took me a little bit more time to get to where I wanted to be,” Meza said.

As veteran midfielder Jess Fishlock nurses a knee injury, Meza has started six games for the Reign. She assisted on Jordyn Huitema’s game-tying goal in a 1-1 draw with Bay FC last month, and she is tied for second in the league for tackles with 32.“She’s a great example of how loans can be really good, and sticking with it, sticking to the journey, because last year was really challenging for her going on loan,” Reign coach Laura Harvey said. “She wanted to do it in the end, but I’m sure she would have preferred to be with us the whole time.”
