...CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR FUNNEL CLOUDS...

WHAT...Funnel clouds are possible due to current atmospheric
conditions. These funnel clouds are typically brief, drop only a
few hundred feet from the cloud base, and rarely become a tornado
or cause damage.

WHERE...Portions of north-central Iowa

WHEN...Now until 630pm.

IMPACTS...None expected, but take cover if you see a funnel cloud
          and feel threatened.

PREPAREDNESS AND PRECAUTIONARY ACTIONS...If a funnel cloud is
spotted, report it to the National Weather Service. If a tornado
warning becomes necessary, take appropriate action.
