...CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR FUNNEL CLOUDS...

CURRENT ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNNEL 
CLOUDS...ESPECIALLY FROM SOUTH CENTRAL INTO EAST CENTRAL IOWA.

USUALLY...THESE FUNNEL CLOUDS CAN FORM FROM SHOWERS AND WEAK
THUNDERSTORMS. THESE FUNNELS ARE NORMALLY BRIEF...DROP ONLY A FEW
HUNDRED FEET FROM THE CLOUD BASE...AND RARELY BECOME A TORNADO OR
CAUSE DAMAGE. HOWEVER...IF ONE IS SPOTTED...PLEASE REPORT IT
IMMEDIATELY TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR RELAY TO THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE. IF A TORNADO WARNING WOULD BECOME
NECESSARY...TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
