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.

Multiple power outages reported in Marion

MARION, IL (WSIL) -- More than 2,000 people in Marion don't have power as of 9:18 p.m. Monday, May 9.

Ameren Illinois' outage map says the actual number is up to 2,270 people. 

When News 3 checked earlier this evening, that number was closer to 2,700.

We reached out to Marion Police who let us know the westside of Marion is affected and that Ameren Illinois is aware of the issue and on the way to restore power.

They're not sure what caused the outage or when power will be restored.

Our crew who drove through Marion says the outage affected businesses and some power lights were out.

News 3 will have more information as it becomes available.
