Viewers who were in the area said the cloud quickly dissipated. There have been no reports of damage. Meteorologist Josh Eachus has said a "backdoor cold front" will bring sun and lower humidity to the area as the week goes on.

Eachus also noted that the weather event can't be referred to as a tornado unless it touches ground. Tropical funnel clouds are a somewhat common sighting in the region during the summer, according to Eachus.
