SALT LAKE CITY — Several FOX 13 News viewers shared photos and video of what appeared to be funnel clouds, including a landspout tornado, over northern Utah Thursday.

A landspout tornado was captured on camera near Herriman in the late morning, which is still technically a tornado, but does not develop as a supercell version would.

With a landspout, the rotation begins at ground-level, not within the storm.

As of noon, weather conditions were worsening across the Salt Lake Valley, but not tornado watches or warnings had been issued.
