Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
July 11, 2026 - 2:07pm
Expires:
July 11, 2026 - 6:00pm
Description:
Atmospheric conditions exist that favor the possible formation of
weak circulations. Some of these circulations are occurring
underneath developing showers and thunderstorms, where a funnel cloud
may develop. Once the rain begins, the funnel cloud usually
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.
