Funnel clouds have been reported over parts of central North Dakota early this afternoon. 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 this afternoon over central and much of western 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. $$
