NWS: Different Breed of Funnel Cloud Over Stark

(News/Talk 1480 WHBC) – There were funnel clouds over the sky in Stark County on Thursday.

No reports of touchdowns though.

The National Weather Service explains that unlike tornado-type funnel clouds form in super-cell thunderstorms, these funnels seen from Canton to Alliance were more like the water spouts that sometimes develop over Lake Erie.

They say that’s why no warnings were issued.
