HONOLULU -- The National Weather Service reported small funnel clouds were seen Monday morning in a line of showers off Kauai.

The NWS said an official weather service observer tracked one of the funnel clouds near Lihue. It reportedly began at 9:52 am, and dissipated at 10:41 a.m.

Another cloud was reported to the U.S. Coast Guard at 10:05 a.m. by a fishing vessel 47 miles south-southeast of Poipu, off the southern coast of the Garden Island. A third funnel cloud was seen by an airplane pilot 10 miles northeast of Lihue at 10:15 a.m. There were no reports of damage from the clouds, which did not touch the surface.

The weather service said short-lived funnel clouds and waterspouts are not uncommon in showers off Hawaiian waters. However, it urged mariners to avoid the funnel clouds, since they can still contain strong, gusty and erratic winds.
