Funnel over the west Des Moines metro. This has a very little chance to touch the ground and is expected to be short lived. The chance for any funnels will end soon as daytime heating and sunset arrive.
Small little funnel cloud ongoing west of Johnston, IA. Has persisted for at least 5 minutes now #iawx @NWSDesMoines
