...TROPICAL FUNNEL CLOUDS AND WATERSPOUTS POSSIBLE TODAY...

Tropical moisture is expected to increase today from the Gulf of
Mexico. This will allow for showers and a few thunderstorms to
form. Conditions are favorable for these showers and storms to
quickly rotate and produce funnel clouds or waterspouts. These
funnel clouds and waterspouts should be brief and only last for a
few moments. Should a funnel cloud reach the ground to become a
tornado or a waterspout be spotted, a short warning may be
issued. Please report any waterspouts and tornadoes to the
National Weather Service.
