WeatherNation showed a landspout tornado near Colorado Springs from last night, saying: “Crazy video of a #landspout #tornado near Colorado Springs, #Colorado back on Thursday! #COwx #SevereWeather.”

It also shared footage of a confirmed tornado in Falcon, which was captured by a trainspotter.

Tornadoes are also warned in Ohio Valley and the Central High Plains. According to NWS, a few severe storms remain possible across parts of the regions through to this evening.

In Ohio Valley, scattered storms persist near the cold front - from southern Indiana across to central Ohio and into Wyoming. These storms may produce “marginally severe” hail. On the Central Plains, “widely spaced” storms will persist, with isolated cells into central Nebraska and eastern Oklahoma. The NWS predicts that these storms will not be as strong due to a loss of heating. Overnight, storms are possible near the Texas Panhandle across Oklahoma and into Arkansas.

In Maryville, Missouri, a false alarm was declared by NWS Kansas City as what was thought to be a tornado was a cold air funnel. The NWS writes: “Which happens when the ground level is warm and the cloud level is much much colder. They’re basically harmless except for the burst of excitement they cause.”
