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.

Hot and humid weekend ahead, with afternoon storm chances

CARTERVILLE (WSIL) -- Scattered showers and storms have developed this afternoon, thanks to a weak cold front. Brief pockets of heavy rain and lightning will stick around through the early evening.

If you're headed out to the fair or a high school football game, it wouldn't hurt to take an umbrella. Storms should begin to diminish near sunset. It'll be warm overnight, with lows dipping into the mid to upper 60s.
