Weather Alert

...Gusty Thunderstorms with Small Hail and Cold Air Funnel Clouds
through Early Tonight...

Gusty thunderstorms capable of producing cold air funnel clouds
and small hail are forecast through early tonight. These cold air
funnels are developing underneath thunderstorms 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.

FAIRFIELD (WSIL) -- Justin Townsend is the Head Football and Track and Field Coach at Fairfield High School and is about to take on more responsibility with the Mules program.

This week, Townsend was named the Mules new Athletic Director.

"A school our size at Fairfield, 400 kids, you have to wear a lot of different hats. to have a successful program," Townsend said. "I've been around twenty years. I've coached wrestling, I've coached girls basketball, obviously I've coached football, I've coached track. I have a lot of experience and the last few years I've taken on administrative duties whether supervision at ball games or things like that so this was kind of in the works I think so to speak. I'm just really excited about it, excited about the opportunity but definitely a lot more responsibility."
