Iroquois Weather Statement
Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 3:50 PM CDT on July 21, 2010
…Funnel clouds possible this afternoon…
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will affect the area today…with the greatest concentration of these showers and thunderstorms expected south of a Fairbury to Milford in Iroquois County. The atmospheric conditions are favorable for the development of funnel clouds that normally protrude a few hundred feet downward from the parent cloud…rotate or spin like a top…and last a few minutes before dissipating.
The atmospheric conditions these funnels are developing in do not support strong…damaging tornadoes. However…on rare occasions these funnels can briefly touch the ground.
If threatening weather approaches…move indoors to a place of safety. The National Weather Service will continue to closely monitor the situation. Please forward reports of funnel sightings to the ESDA or nearest law enforcement agency for relay to the National Weather Service.
