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.

(CNN) -- A one-of-a-kind COVID-19 vaccine trial is taking place in the U.S., but researchers need volunteers.

Tuesday the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious diseases announced it has started phase one of a trial testing whether it is safe to mix COVID-19 vaccines from different manufacturers.

Researchers are now looking for participants.

They say volunteers must be at least 18-years-old and have already received the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

During the trial, they will receive doses from different vaccines to review the effects of mixing boosters.

The National Institute is hoping to gather 150 fully vaccinated volunteers in all. They expect to receive the initial trial results in late summer.
