...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.

Eurma C. Hayes Center in need of volunteers following water damage

Eurma C Hayes Center
By Madeline Parker

CARBONDALE (WSIL)---A historic community center in Carbondale needs YOUR help after it sustained water damage from recent storms.

The Eurma Hayes Center had a water pipe burst last week and volunteers are still cleaning up the damage.

That damage is not extensive, but the lack of workers make it challenging.

"The lack of labor, on a consistent basis, is slowing us down also. But we will get there. A lot of people asking to help. Haven't seen much of that yet but we're working with what we have," said director Robert Wills.

If you would like to volunteer, go to the Eurma Hayes Center starting at 9:30 in the morning on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
