Possible Cold Air Funnel?
Saturday April 18th 2026 - Kearney Nebraska
I've been chasing storms for a long time but this one's got me baffled... I'm thinking it's a cold air funnel. Cuz it was super nice right before this happened no winds and then we had a batch of cumulus pop up... Virga was everywhere... But this caught my eye so I drove out to the west of the city and this happened...
But 11:30 a.m. ish
You can see the lowering of the rain base here definite rotation but we get dust devils and weird stuff like this all the time...
I initially thought it was just virga... Strong downdraft winds....
Anybody clarify?
