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.

Temperatures and Wind Chills Sunday 9 PM

Sunshine has returned as the storm that brought us a wintry mix this past weekend continues to move eastward towards the mid-Atlantic. Temperatures today remain close to average with highs in the mid to upper 30s. The sun is a bit deceiving as wind chills make this afternoon feel more like the mid 20s thanks to a shifting wind pattern. Gusts are expected to reach into the 20s this afternoon/evening. 

Going into tonight temperatures will dip into the upper 20s with wind chills even lower in the teens. Clouds will begin to fill back in overnight. We remain under a Special Weather Statement due to a chance of flurries heading into Monday morning. This could cause some patchy slick spots on the roads with dusting to half an inch possible over the Evansville Tri State area. Take caution and allow yourself extra time if you're travelling in the early morning hours on Monday. 

Winds will continue to be an issue into the holiday on Monday with gusts reaching over 30 mph causing it to feel much colder than it is. Temperatures are forecasted to be in the upper 30s with lows in the mid 20s.Â
