...Gusty Thunderstorms with Small Hail and Cold Air Funnel Clouds
through Early Tonight...

Gusty thunderstorms capable of producing cold air funnel clouds
and small hail are forecast through early tonight. These cold air
funnels are developing underneath thunderstorms that are moving
across the area. Underneath these showers...spinning columns of
air that look like tornadoes may continue to develop. These
funnels usually are very brief and rarely touch the ground. If
these funnels do touch down...they most likely will not cause
damage to life or property.

Cold air funnels are due to very cool air aloft...warm moist air
near the ground...and are usually in association with a strong
area of low pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. Due to
little or no wind shear...they are usually weak and very brief.

Amazon to produce face shields for medical workers, public

(CNN) -- Amazon announced Thursday it will start mass-producing hundreds of protective face shields for medical workers.

The e-commerce giant says eventually it will mass produce them for the general public as well.

The gear allows for plastic shields to snap onto a 3D-printed headpiece.

According to Amazon, the National Institutes of Health approved the design.

Upwards of 10,000 have been donated to health workers so far. Amazon said in a blog post that 20,000 more are on the way.

This effort comes in addition to the company's previous announcement that it is developing coronavirus testing capacity.

However, policy makers have questioned Amazon about its safety policies for its front-line warehouse and delivery employees.
