Conditions will remain favorable for funnel clouds through early evening... Funnel clouds were reported earlier this afternoon in the Stanwood and Tipton area. The funnels were associated with some showers in east central Iowa that we occurring along a weak boundary. At 430 PM the showers extended from just west of Dubuque to just west of Muscatine. These funnels are typically short lived and rarely touch down. The atmospheric conditions these funnels are developing in do not support strong... damaging tornadoes. The funnels will be possible through early this evening when the showers are expected to weaken or dissipate. 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.
