(Whitewater Valley)--Several cold-air funnels were spotted across the Whitewater Valley Thursday.  Most of the sightings were around the north side of Connersville extending north toward Milton.  Cold-air funnels have the appearance of forming tornadoes but rarely touch down and cause damage.  Another weather note…nearly all of the Whitewater Valley is now officially in a drought despite the rain over the last couple of days.  A new assessment by the NOAA was released Thursday.  With no more rain in the forecast, Richmond will finish September having had only a third of an inch of rain for the entire month.
