At 825 PM CDT, Doppler Radar was tracking some thunderstorms that may be capable of producing cold air funnel clouds. Conditions are favorable for the formation of cold air funnels. Studies of these funnel clouds show that they seldom touch the ground and rarely do any damage. Cold air funnel clouds normally lower a few hundred feet downward from the parent cloud, rotate or spin like a top, and last only a few minutes before dissipating. Persons should remain alert and move to a place of safety if a funnel cloud approaches the ground near your area. These storms also will be capable of producing half-inch size hail. Locations impacted include... Scandia, Jamestown, Courtland, Norway and Republic.
