Funnel Cloud Spotted South of Terre Haute, Indiana
• A funnel-shaped lowering was photographed south of Terre Haute, Indiana, on Wednesday evening, November 11,
• The photo, shared by Noah Miller, shows the lowering hanging from the base of a storm above fall-colored trees near Griffin Bike Park and Fowler Park. The storm was under a radar-indicated tornado warning from 5:27 PM to 6:00 PM ET, but no official tornado report had been received at the time of publication. The region remains under a Level 2 of 5 (Slight Risk) for severe weather, with storms continuing to fire across central and southern Indiana, western Kentucky, and southeastern Illinois. A cold front sweeping through the lower Ohio Valley is driving these conditions, with warm, moist air interacting with cooler air aloft to create storm clusters, some of which are rotating.

The primary risks associated with these storms include damaging wind gusts of 60 mph or more, hail measuring 1 to 1.5 inches, and isolated tornadoes. The tornado risk is rated at 2 percent, a Level 1 threat. Severe thunderstorm watches are in effect until 11 PM ET, with several warnings active as of 7:30 PM ET. Residents in the affected areas, including Indiana, Kentucky, and middle Tennessee, should remain vigilant and prepared for potential severe weather impacts.
