The Ohio Valley, including Ohio and Indiana, has been put on high alert by the National Weather Service for the possibility of funnel clouds this evening. The areas marked in their radar map, which includes regions surrounding Dayton, Richmond, and Springfield, are at a greater risk of formation.
The US National Weather Service states that thunderstorms can create favorable conditions for the emergence of weak circulations. These circulations have the potential to produce funnel clouds, although they usually remain in the air. However, there is a chance that they may touch down momentarily.
It is important for residents in the affected areas to remain vigilant and keep a close eye on local weather updates. The National Weather Service advises being ready to seek refuge in a secure shelter in case a funnel cloud descends towards the ground. Although rare, funnel clouds can cause localized harm if they come into contact with the surface.
