Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are forecast through this afternoon, mainly near and east of the Mississippi River. Due to very cold temperatures just off the ground, some of the showers or thunderstorms could produce small hail and cold air funnel clouds. Cold air funnels are due to very cool air aloft...warm moist air near the ground...and are usually in association with a strong area of low pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. Due to little or no wind shear...they are usually very brief and rarely reach the ground. If the funnels do reach the ground, minor wind damage is possible.
