...COLD AIR FUNNEL CLOUD REPORTED NEAR BROWNSVILLE...

At 1135 AM, a trained spotter reported a shower producing a cold
air funnel cloud near Brownsville. The funnel cloud did not touch
the ground and has since dissipated.

The air mass over northwest Oregon and southwest Washington is
cool and unstable this afternoon. This pattern can produce what
are called cold air funnel clouds. These funnels do not usually
touch the ground. However, if they do touch the ground they are
dangerous and can be damaging.
