Special Weather Statement issued May 17 at 5:09PM CDT by NWS Paducah KY There have been reports of cold air funnels this afternoon in New Madrid County Missouri. These cold air funnels will be possible underneath any showers across the region through sunset. 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.
