*Funnel Cloud - A condensation funnel extending from the base of a towering cumulus or Cb, associated with a rotating column of air that is not in contact with the ground (and hence different from a tornado).
Funnel Cloud - A funnel-shaped cloud extending from a towering cumulus or cumulonimbus base. It is associated with a towering air column that is not in contact with the ground.
Funnel cloud - A rotating column of air extending from a cloud but not reaching the ground.

FUNNEL CLOUD: A rotating, cone-shaped column of air extending downward from the base of a thunderstorm. When it reaches the ground it is called a tornado.
GALE: Wind speeds from 39 to 54 mph (34 to 47 knots).
Funnel cloud: A tornadic circulation that does not reach the ground.
FUNNEL CLOUD A violent, rotating column of air visibly extending from the base of a towering cumulus or cumulonimbus toward the ground, but not in contact with it. It is reported as "FC" in an observation and on the METAR.
Funnel Cloud- a funnel shaped cloud that extends from a cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud; this cloud is related to a rotating column of air that is not in contact with the ground.

Funnel Cloud
Cloud formed at the core of a waterspout or tornado vortex, sometimes extended right down to the ground, caused by the reduction of pressure at the center of the vortex.
Gale
Wind with a speed between 34 and 40 knots.
FUNNEL CLOUD - A rotating column of air forming a pendant from a cumulus/cumulonimbus cloud with circulation not reaching the ground.

Funnel Cloud- A rotating, cone-shaped column of air extending downward from the base of a thunderstorm but not touching the ground. When it reaches the ground it is called a tornado.
Funnel Cloud - A rapidly rotating column of air extending from a cumulonimbus cloud with a circulation that does not reach the ground. once a funnel cloud reaches the ground it is then called a tornado.
Funnel Cloud - A tornado that doesn't reach the ground. It has a rotating cone-shaped column of air extending downward from the base of a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud, but whose circulation does not make contact with the ground.
Funnel Cloud
A rotating column of cloud descending from the base of a large cumulus or cumulonimbus but which does not reach the surface.

FUNNEL CLOUD - A rotating vortex, signified by a condensation funnel, but not qualifying as a tornado. These do not reach the ground, neither does the circulation itself reach the ground.
**Funnel Cloud**
Only when the funnel cloud touches the ground is it called a tornado.

A funnel cloud or a small, relatively weak tornado that can develop from a small shower or thunderstorm when the air aloft is unusually cold (hence the name). They are much less violent than other types of tornadoes.

COLD AIR FUNNEL Funnel clouds, usually short-lived, that develop from relatively small showers or thunderstorms when the air aloft is very in cold.

A violently rotating column of air, in contact with the ground, either pendant from a cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform cloud, and often (but not always) visible as a funnel cloud.
One particularly active storm generated several funnel clouds, at least one of which touched down as a strong tornado west of the city. At one house in its path only the water pipes remained! ...
A horizontal, tail-shaped cloud (not a funnel cloud) at low levels extending from the precipitation cascade region of a supercell toward the wall cloud (i.e., it usually is observed extending from the wall cloud toward the north or northeast).
If the rotation intensifies, a funnel cloud can develop where the cloud water vapor is draw down towards the ground.
Tail Cloud: A horizontal, tail-shaped cloud (not a funnel cloud) at low levels extending from the precipitation cascade region of a supercell toward the wall cloud (i.e.
Listed weather types include tornado, waterspout, funnel cloud, thunderstorm and severe storm, liquid precipitation (drizzle, rain, rain showers), freezing precipitation (freezing drizzle, freezing rain), and frozen precipitation (snow, snow pellets, ...
Cold air downbursts impinging upon the tornado cause the visible funnel cloud to tilt increasingly from the vertical (usually away from the rain area).
Funnel clouds, usually short-lived, that develop from relatively small showers or thunderstorms when the air aloft is very in cold. Cold air funnels may touch down briefly, but in general are less violent than most other types of tornadoes.
Wall cloud An area of rotating clouds that extends beneath a severe thunderstorm and from which a funnel cloud may appear.
completely detached from the thunderstorm base or other cloud features, thus differentiating them from the more familiar shelf clouds. Roll clouds usually appear to be "rolling" about a horizontal axis, but should not be confused with funnel clouds.
from the radar unit based on the change in the frequency between the outgoing and returning (reflected) radar signal. Thus wind speeds associated with thunderstorms can be interpreted, and in particular rotating winds associated with funnel clouds ...
In these tornadoes, the roaring winds in the funnel can reach 300 mph, the strongest winds on Earth. Funnels usually travel at 20 to 40 mph, moving toward the northeast. When tornadoes form over lakes or oceans they suck water into the funnel cloud ...
