The Chicago area is at a ‘marginal’ risk of severe weather on Tuesday, but a unique phenomenon could potentially occur as a mass of cold air approaches the region.According to the NBC 5 Storm Team and weather officials, there is a chance of “cold air funnels” during the afternoon and early evening hours across the Chicago area.
Most cold air funnel clouds never touch down and remain aloft, according to officials. They are usually harmless, but on occasion they can touch down and generate wind speeds equivalent to that of an EF-0 tornado, up to 85 miles per hour. The National Weather Service requests that the public take proper precautions if a funnel cloud is observed, but also asks for reports of such incidents, as the clouds are difficult to pinpoint on radar, according to officials.Feeling out of the loop?
