Devin Biggs caught this picture of a small funnel cloud east of Lincoln at approximately 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. He contacted Dan Fulscher of the Logan County Emergency Management Agency, who confirmed it was a funnel. Later he spoke with meteorologist Chris Miller of the National Weather Service in Lincoln for an explanation of what was going on that evening in the skies. Miller told Biggs: "There was a weak boundary (or weak front if you prefer) that some cumulus clouds rapidly developed on. There was just enough moisture to get these clouds going, and enough difference in temperature on either side of the boundary to create updrafts."

Today's forecast also includes the opportunity for developing severe storms.

Priscilla Presley, left, Elvis Presley's ex-wife, and Lisa Marie Presley, right, Elvis and Priscilla Presley's daughter, speak to fans gathered at a candlelight vigil Wednesday at Graceland, Elvis Presley's Memphis, Tenn. home.

It was the first time that Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley appeared together at the annual event on the eve of the anniversary of Elvis Presley's death, Aug. 16, 1977. The two women appeared on an elevated stage in front of the crowd Wednesday night and thanked them for coming.  Fans held up lit candles, illuminating their faces in orange light as they stood in the street outside the gates of Graceland.

This combination of 2012 file photos shows, from left, San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain on June 13, Chicago White Sox pitcher Philip Humber on April 21 and Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez on Aug. 15. Seattle's Hernandez threw a perfect game, the Mariners' first ever and the 23rd in baseball history, against the Tampa Bay Rays in a 1-0 victory on Wednesday. It was the third perfect game in baseball this season -- a first -- joining gems by Chicago's Humber against the Mariners in April and San Francisco's Cain versus the Houston Astros in June.
