Special Weather Statement

At 100 PM CDT, media reported a funnel cloud north of Sullivan.

Atmospheric conditions exist that favor the possible formation of weak circulations along a pre-existing boundary. Some of these circulations are occurring underneath developing showers, where a funnel cloud may develop.

Low hanging clouds can also appear to dip down at times, but they will not show signs of any rapid rotation. An actual funnel cloud will exhibit spinning in a counter-clockwise direction.

In rare instances these funnels may briefly touch down. Stay alert and be prepared to move to a safe shelter if a funnel cloud approaches the ground.
