Shelby County Funnel Clouds

Has it really been a month since last post? Haven't meant to abandon the blog and will try to update as time allows for the past few weeks have been busy. Per the title, a weak frontal boundary dropped through the region yesterday and with that, a few showers and storms having additional funnel clouds developed. Of those reported, the most impressive ones were found in far East Central Illinois. Following an area of convergence further to the west where conditions were less favorable for slender tapered formations, in Northwest Shelby County I observed a few good sized non threatening funnel clouds as well.
