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

A weak boundary is sitting east west across central Iowa. Showers
and isolated thunderstorms are possible this afternoon. Due to the
amount of heat and humidity in the air, some funnel clouds or a
brief weak tornado is possible this afternoon and early evening.

WHAT...Funnel clouds are possible due to current atmospheric
conditions. These funnel clouds are typically brief, drop only a
few hundred feet from the cloud base, and rarely become a tornado
or cause damage.

WHERE...Counties across Central Iowa

WHEN...4 to 8 pm

IMPACTS...None expected with funnel clouds but if a brief tornado
occurs, then some damage will be possible.

PREPAREDNESS AND PRECAUTIONARY ACTIONS...If a funnel cloud is spotted,
report it to the National Weather Service. If a tornado warning
becomes necessary to be issued, take appropriate action and seek
shelter immediately.
