...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.

Giving Tuesday: The Women’s Center

(WSIL) -- News 3 WSIL has partnered with the Integrity Roofing and Integrity Cares to spotlight local non-profit organizations in our Giving Tuesday series. This week's featured non-profit organization is the Women's Center.

Founded in 1972, The Women's Center now serves survivors of violence in eight counties from four area offices. Their ongoing mission is to end domestic violence and sexual assault in Southern Illinois and to assist survivors of these crimes and their non-offending significant others.

One of the first domestic violence centers in the country, the Women's Center was created in 1972 by a group of visionaries who recognized the need for a safe, secure environment for Southern Illinois women and their children.

Their staff of professionals and trained volunteers are dedicated to helping people regain control of their lives, their choices, and their futures. They are recognized as experts on domestic violence and sexual assault, and work tirelessly to educate Southern Illinoisans about these issues.
