...Funnel Clouds Possible Today...

Atmospheric conditions are favorable for the development of funnel
clouds. These funnel clouds normally only protrude a few hundred
feet downward from the parent cloud, rotate or spin like a top,
and last a few minutes before dissipating.

These funnel clouds rarely touch the ground and typically do not
pose any sort of hazard. However, conditions today could favor the
development of a few brief/weak tornadoes mainly south and west
of a Rochelle to Fowler line this afternoon. The atmospheric
conditions that these funnel clouds develop in do not support
strong, damaging tornadoes.

If threatening weather approaches, move indoors to a place of
safety. The National Weather Service will continue to closely
monitor the situation.
