...FUNNEL CLOUDS SIGHTED OVER LEAVENWORTH COUNTY KANSAS...
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IN LEAVENWORTH KANSAS HAS REPORTED SIGHTINGS OF
FUNNEL CLOUDS NEAR LEVENWORTH KANSAS. THESE FUNNEL CLOUDS ARE IN
ASSOCIATION WITH COOLER AIR AND BOUNDARIES OVER THE REGION.
THIS COOLER AIR ALONG WITH THE BOUNDARIES MAY CREATE ADDITIONAL
FUNNEL CLOUDS AS IT MOVES THROUGH UNTIL NEAR SUNSET.
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS EXIST THAT FAVOR THE POSSIBLE FORMATION
OF WEAK CIRCULATIONS ON A PRE-EXISTING BOUNDARY.
LOW HANGING CLOUDS CAN ALSO APPEAR TO DIP 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 INSTANCES THESE FUNNELS MAY BRIEFLY TOUCHDOWN. STAY ALERT
AND BE PREPARED TO MOVE TO A SAFE SHELTER IF A FUNNEL CLOUD
APPROACHES THE GROUND.- See more at NOAA
