Note that for observed weather conditions, the weather type 'Funnel cloud' shall be qualified with intensity to indicate:<br /></p><p><ul><li>HEAVY: Tornado or Waterspout</li><br /></p><p><li>MODERATE: Funnel cloud that does not touch the surface of the land or water.</li><br /></p><p></ul><br /></p><p>In contrast, for forecast weather conditions, the weather type 'Funnel cloud'<font color="#0f0f0f"> cannot be qualified by intensity to indicate Tornado or Waterspout.</font><br /></p><p><font color="#ff0000"><br /></p><p></font><font color="#ff0000">Given the greater flexibility provided by the Logical Data Model in comparison with the Traditional Alphanumeric Code-forms, a more appropriate solution may be the definition of additional types (Tornado and Waterspout) to complement Funnel cloud rather than relying on the intensity qualification.</font><br /></p>
