The National Weather Service issued notice that atmospheric conditions are favorable for the development of those white, funnel clouds that often-times trick people. Weather officials say these funnel clouds normally only protrude a few hundred feet downward from the parent cloud, rotate or spin like a top, and usually only last a few minutes before dissipating.

These funnel clouds rarely touch the ground and typically don’t pose any sort of hazard. The atmospheric conditions that these funnel clouds develop in do not support strong, damaging tornadoes. However, on extremely rare occasions, these funnels can briefly touch the ground and produce very minimal, if any, damage.The NWS will closely monitor developing situations. Should threatening weather approach, move indoors to a place of safety.

Showers and T-storms are in the afternoon forecast, continuing tonight and tomorrow.
