Weather Alert

...Funnel clouds will be possible through this afternoon...

There have been reports of funnel clouds today. These funnels
are developing underneath a few showers that are moving across the
area. Underneath these showers...spinning columns of air that
look like tornadoes may continue to develop. These funnels usually
are very brief and rarely touch the ground. If these funnels do
touch down...they most likely will not cause damage to life or
property.

These funnels are due to cooler air aloft...warm moist air near
the ground...and are usually in association with a strong area of
low pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. Due to little
or no wind shear...they are usually weak and very brief.

CARBONDALE (WSIL) -- Carbondale Elementary School District is giving WiFi access to students and families.

Students will not be allowed indoors, but can sit with their parents in their vehicles or anywhere outside the building.

The district says 70% of the student body live in households with incomes below the poverty line, with 40-60% possibly living in homes with no WiFi access.

Thomas Elementary School principal Robby Clark-Stokes says he hopes this will help serve students without internet access.

"Any of our four learning centers: Parish, Thomas, Lewis and CMS can pull up close to the building, usually where our parent pick-up lines are. And then they can access the WiFi from there," he said.

WiFi access will be available weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. through the end of May.
