Special Weather Statement issued June 27 at 3:54PM EDT by NWS Wilmington OHFunnel clouds are possible due to atmospheric conditions found
along a boundary that stretches across the I-70 corridor today.
These funnel clouds are not associated with thunderstorms and form
on the back side of isolated, generally light showers. These
showers increase the relative humidity below their bases, which
make circulations visible in the form of funnel clouds. Other
showers in the area likely have these same circulations, but the
ingredient of the increased local humidity may not be present.
Funnels such as these are typically brief, drop only a few
hundred feet from the cloud base, and rarely become a tornado or
cause damage.Funnel clouds are possible due to atmospheric conditions found
