Conditions will be favourable for the development of funnel clouds today.

What a funnel cloud can look like.

These types of funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms.

This weak rotation is normally not a danger near the ground.

However, there is a chance that this rotation could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado.
