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.

CARBONDALE, IL (WSIL) - The stars of the Saluki softball program are going home.

The twins from SIU Softball have transferred to their hometown college.

The pitcher-and-catcher tandem of Maddia and Rylinn Groff are heading to the University of Nebraska Omaha. It's a homecoming of sorts. 

The sisters had a major impact for the Dawgs in just a short time. With the help of both sisters, SIU won the regular season and conference championship for the first time since 1991.

Maddia was remarkable in the circle. She earned 30 of the Dawgs' 44 wins. That's nearly 70 % of the team's victories.

The move brings them home and allows them to try for NIL deals.

SIU's loss is Nebraska's gain.
