Weather Alert

STATEMENT TEXT

...Cold air funnels will be possible...

Cold air funnels are expected today. These cold air funnels are
developing underneath a few showers 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.

(HERRIN)---Workers at the Orthopaedic Institute received their COVID-19 vaccines.

Pamm Hunter was among the first at the institute today to receive the shot.

Hunter and those at the institute are unable to always socially distance themselves from their patients, so she is excited for what the vaccine means for the future.

"I feel very relieved. I feel like this is the beginning of the end. I'm so excited to see, I'm hoping this will resolve the pandemic. It's the start of a new future for us," said Hunter.

According to the Illinois Health Department, all adults should be able to be vaccinated in 2021 when the vaccine becomes more widely available.
