Details

A warm and unstable airmass coupled with an approaching outflow
boundary from this morning’s convection across southern Nebraska
has led to a few funnels developing across portions of the area
this morning. While the threat could persist into the late
afternoon, not expecting any impacts from the lowering clouds.
Make sure to report any observed funnels to your local authorities
especially if they approach the ground.
