Special Weather Statement issued August 15 at 7:47PM EDT by NWS Cleveland OHAtmospheric conditions exist this evening across Northwest Ohio that
favor the potential formation of weak circulations. Some of these
circulations are occurring underneath developing showers and
thunderstorm where a funnel cloud may develop.
Low hanging clouds can also appear to dig up and down at times, but
they will not show signs of any rapid rotation. An actual funnel
cloud will exhibit spinning in a counter-clockwise direction.
In rare occasions, these funnel clouds may briefly touch down. Stay
alert and be prepared to move to a safe shelter if a funnel cloud
approaches the ground. Report funnel clouds and possible tornado
occurrences to local law enforcement and the National Weather
Service.Atmospheric conditions exist this evening across Northwest Ohio that
