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.

CHICAGO, Ill. -- McDonald's may soon launch a $5 value meal. 

The report comes amid intense inflation throughout the U.S. Higher fast-food costs have driven a number of customers away from McDonald's and other fast-food restaurants. 

According to a report from ABC News, the average price of a quarter pounder throughout the country has over doubled in the last few years. Customers cite this as a reason to pull away from the double arches when looking for lunch. 

McDonald's executives are considering the value meal to compete with its competitors, such as Wendy's and Burger King. 

The decision to introduce the meal comes down to individual franchise owners. The owners will vote throughout the US to decide if the company would lose too much money from the offering. 

McDonald's has not released an official statement on the deal but did tell ABC News it is working with local franchise owners to set local prices.
