...LANDSPOUT BRIEFLY SIGHTED NEAR FAIRMOUNT IL...

At 104 PM CDT, A landspout was reported near Fairmount Illinois but
has since dissipated.

Atmospheric conditions exist that favor the possible formation
of weak circulations this afternoon. Some of these circulations are
occurring underneath developing showers and thunderstorms, where a
funnel cloud may develop. Once the rain begins, the funnel cloud
usually dissipates.

In rare instances these funnels may briefly touch down. Stay alert
and be prepared to move to a safe shelter if a funnel cloud
approaches the ground.
