Funnel Cloud Fest

26 Jun 2024 05:30 AM
A staled out surface boundary, strong instability, and thunderstorms rapidly developing over top that boundary created ideal conditions for a festival of funnel clouds and even a few brief tornadoes/landspouts over Iowa on Tuesday. The featured image is courtesy of the KCRG-TV webcam in Marion showing a funnel cloud / brief tornado near Ely. Many other funnel clouds were reported along the boundary. A time lapse from the aforementioned brief tornado is available on YouTube. Another time lapse from the Mount Vernon webcam nicely shows a number of funnel clouds.

For the past 18 months, I have been uploading the best timelapses from the webcam networks to YouTube. 150 videos later, quite a collection of weather phenomena has been collected with our famous gravity wave video receiving 625,000 hits! The featured image is from a spectacular timelapse on Thursday Night of a funnel cloud spinning overhead. You can be alerted when new videos are posted by subscribing to the RSS feed.
