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?
