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.

Saturday conditions will be uncomfortable

(WSIL) -- Heavy rain is possible in the early morning hours Saturday with light showers lingering to midday. Strong southwest winds will accompany a push of colder air. Temperatures will hold steady or fall slowly during the day and drop steeply Saturday evening. A mixture of rain showers and snowflakes will keep the discomfort index high for Sunday. Seasonal weather conditions appear in the forecast for most of next week including another chance of a winter mixture. I will have the latest forecast updates on News 3 WSIL.
