NWS defines a funnel cloud as a condensation funnel extending from the base of a towering cumulus associated with a rotating column of air that is not in contact with the ground (and hence different from a tornado). A condensation funnel is a tornado, not a funnel cloud, if either:
- It is in contact with the ground.
- A debris cloud or dust whirl is visible beneath it.
