Dayton, OH – The National Weather Service has issued a warning for potential funnel clouds this evening, particularly in parts of the Ohio Valley, including Ohio and Indiana. The alert highlights an increased chance of formation in the areas circled on their radar map, which includes regions around Dayton, Richmond, and Springfield.
According to the US National Weather Service, conditions are favorable for weak circulations to develop beneath thunderstorms. These circulations can sometimes lead to the formation of funnel clouds. While these funnel clouds typically remain aloft, there is a possibility that they may briefly touch down.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay alert and monitor local weather updates. The National Weather Service recommends being prepared to move to a safe shelter if a funnel cloud approaches the ground. In rare instances, funnel clouds can cause localized damage if they make contact with the surface.
