Cold Air Funnels Spotted in McLean Co
...FUNNEL CLOUDS SIGHTED OVER parts of McLean county...
Between 520 and 530 PM this evening, several reports of funnel
clouds were reported over Mclean county
Atmospheric conditions exist across the area today that favor the
possible formation of weak circulations, along an existing boundary.
Some of these circulations are occurring underneath developing
showers and thunderstorms, where a funnel cloud may develop. Once the rain begins, the funnel cloud dissipates.
Low hanging clouds can also appear to dip up and 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.
Instructions:
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. Stay tuned to media for more information
