STATEMENT TEXT

...Cold air funnels will be possible...

Cold air funnels are expected today. These cold air 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.

Cold air funnels are due to very cool 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.

8th annual SIU Golf Fundraiser continues to raise major support for Saluki Golf programs

The annual SIU golf fundraiser is one of the most important days of the year for both the men's and women's teams.

Head coach Justin Fetcho had a busy day Friday, but it was well worth it. 15 teams in the morning. 20 teams in the afternoon. All proceeds will help both men's and women's teams be able to take great golf trips to compete and play against the nation's best.

Fetcho says this is one of the biggest days of the year for the entire Saluki golf program because it benefits the players the most.

"We try to travel the best way that we can -- eat the best places we can; train at the best places we can," said Fetcho. "If not for a day like today, we would not be nearly as successful as we are. A big kudos to all the players and all the sponsors."
