Waarschuwingen, Big Island Wildlife Area

Special Weather Statement issued July 11 at 4:35PM EDT by NWS Cleveland OH Atmospheric conditions exist today across North-Central Ohio that favor the potential formation of weak circulations. Some of these circulations are occurring underneath showers and thunderstorms where a funnel cloud may develop. Low hanging clouds can also appear to dig up and down at times, but they will not show signs of any rapid rotation. An actual funnel cloud will exhibit spinning in a counter-clockwise direction. In rare occasions, these funnel clouds may briefly touch down. Stay alert and be prepared to move to a safe shelter if a funnel cloud approaches the ground. Report funnel clouds and possible tornado occurrences to the National Weather Service.
