Funnel clouds spotted in KELOLAND Tuesday
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Some interesting clouds were spotted yesterday.
Meteorologist Scot Mundt has the scoop on what some people saw.
Jamie Smith to make announcement Saturday
Funnel clouds were spotted on Tuesday. These types of funnels form inside very cold pockets of air when winds at different heights create spin. Because they are usually very high and are small, most cold-air funnels go unnoticed.
But John Darcy captured this one in eastern KELOLAND.
Cold air funnels are very weak; for that reason, the spin with the funnel isn't even detected on radar, BUT we were able to see this funnel with our Madison LiveCam.
Cold air funnels typically occur during showers or thunderstorms in the very center of a low-pressure system. You can see the upper-level low's circulation here as the rain this morning in Minnesota was moving northwest and the rain in western South Dakota was moving southeast.
Depending on the location of the upper-level system, I wouldn't be surprised if more funnels were spotted today.
While they may look scary, they're usually not dangerous. On rare occasions, cold air funnels reach the ground, but if you feel you're in danger, take it upon yourself to seek shelter.

'A neighbor got in touch with my daughter, and everybody rushed, all the family that visits, everybody came.' Cynthia's godchild, Dione Robinson, says the fire also claimed the life of their family dog, Cookie. 'They lost their dog Cookie, pretty much everything,' said Robinson. 'The only thing they see was a few photos from when we were younger and things in the back room that were sealed off that the fire didn't reach, but the lost the majority of everything.' The family says they will always remember the countless holidays they've spent with one another at the home. They say while the fire may have taken everything, it can never take the love and memories they shared. 'Every Thanksgiving was over here, so everybody would come, it would be packed with people, good food, good vibes and that's my godparents, so anytime I wanted to come to laugh or watch the Superbowl, boxing with my uncle, anything, we would just come over here and spend time with them, it was always a good time when we came,' said Robinson. The family says while rebuilding their home won't be easy, they are holding onto hope and faith to get them through these challenging times. 'They still got their life, that's the most important thing,' said Robinson. 'Everything that was lost could be replaced, but having them here is the biggest step, we just gotta build everything back up brick by brick.'
