Funnel Formation Possible Today in Southeast Minnesota
Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - The National Weather Service says weather conditions today are favorable for the development of funnel clouds in parts of southeastern Minnesota.
The advisory covers areas south of Rochester, mainly in areas of Fillmore, Mower, and Freeborn Counties. The National Weather Service says funnel development is also possible in parts of northeast Iowa.
Forecasters say the most favorable conditions will occur between 3-7 PM.
The National Weather Service says these types of funnels do not approach the ground and do not pose a threat in most cases. However, in rare cases they do touch down. In that event, it becomes a tornado and damage and injuries are possible.
Anyone observing a funnel cloud approaching the ground should seek shelter immediately.
