Full official description
Bulletin details
Atmospheric conditions are favorable for the development of funnel clouds. These funnel clouds protrude downward from the parent cloud, rotate or spin like a top, and last a few minutes before dissipating. The atmospheric conditions that these funnel clouds develop in do not support strong, damaging tornadoes. However, these funnels can briefly touch the ground and produce very minimal damage. If threatening weather approaches, move indoors to a place of safety. The National Weather Service will continue to closely monitor the situation.
