...FUNNEL CLOUDS POSSIBLE OVER MUCH OF SOUTHWEST AND PARTS OF
SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING...

At 405 PM MDT funnel clouds were reported by Emergency Management
in Stark County. The showers and weak thunderstorms producing
these funnel clouds were moving east to southeast.

These funnel clouds were not associated with severe thunderstorms.
They are formed by showers or thundershowers when unique
meteorological conditions exist. Therefore, the possibility for
funnels remains possible through 600 PM MDT, or 700 CDT, for much
of southwest into parts of south central North Dakota.

These types of funnel clouds are usually short lived, however,
they can and occasionally do touch the ground and cause minor
damage. Because of this possibility, if you see one of these
funnel clouds, take cover immediately.
