Funnel Clouds Can be Trouble
A funnel shaped cloud is a sign of rotational winds aloft. Here in the Northeast, funnel clouds are rare. A least in my years outdoors. And they typically don’t last long, a minute and gone. Still they deserve your attention. Funnel clouds can be trouble.
Most of them descend from a storm cloud and don’t reach the ground…or the water. But if they do, look out. They may be the making of a tornado or a water spout. Particular if you’re surrounded by a warm air mass, such as in the tropics. Funnel clouds can be trouble. Keep an eye on them.
