HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — The National Weather Service says portions of south-central Nebraska have been hit with tennis-ball-sized hail.

Meteorologist Shawn Rossi says the hail was reported near the town of Deshler, about 10 miles north of the Kansas border, but it’s not clear whether it caused any damage. Funnel clouds were reported in the area, but Rossi says there haven’t been any confirmed tornadoes on the ground.

Seven central Nebraska counties were under a tornado watch until 9 p.m. Tuesday: Howard, Merrick, Nance, Polk, York, Hall and Hamilton.
