The National Weather Service says that tonight’s weather could bring funnel clouds and short, weak tornadoes until 7 p. m. local time.  

The conditions are right for these storms to form, so people should keep a close eye on the sky.  

If the danger grows stronger, officials may issue a Tornado Warning.

A funnel cloud is a rotating column of air that touches the ground.  

Sometimes it can turn into a tornado, but these would likely be brief and not very powerful.  

Even short tornadoes can cause local damage, so it’s important to act fast.

If you spot a funnel cloud or a tornado, go inside right away.  

Find a sturdy building and stay away from windows.  

Tell local police what you see so they can alert the Weather Service.

Check updates on weather. gov or a trusted news site.  

The warning could change if conditions shift.  

Stay prepared and keep your phone ready for alerts.
