Special Statement
Statement as of 7:42 PM CDT on May 22, 2013

... A few funnel clouds reported...

A trained spotter reported sighting funnel clouds near Muscatine
around 630 PM CDT. These funnel clouds are associated with showers
occurring around an upper level low pressure system.

Additional funnels are possible early this evening. These funnels
are typically short lived and rarely touch down. The atmospheric
conditions these funnels are developing in do not support
strong... damaging tornadoes.

In the unusual case they do touch down... they should be on the ground
only briefly and produce minimal... if any damage. However... if
threatening weather conditions approach your location... move indoors
to a place of safety.

The National Weather Service will continue to closely monitor the
situation. Please forward reports of funnel sightings to the nearest
law enforcement agency for relay to the National Weather Service.
