A high-flying lost teddy bear caused the National Weather Service to launch an investigation of sorts to reunite a Southern California kid with his stuffed animal.

NWS Los Angeles said in a tweet Tuesday afternoon that a user asked for help in "tracking down an important missing teddy bear."

A user just asked for help tracking down an important missing teddy bear that floated away in a cluster of balloons Sun morning in Westchester. Based on the winds, it likely landed somewhere in Orange or San Diego Counties. Have you seen him?

The organization said the bear floated away in a cluster of balloons Sunday morning in Westchester, a neighborhood in Los Angeles.

The stuffed animal is a small black bear with a brown snout and paws.

Due to the winds, the flying stuffed animal could have landed anywhere in San Diego or Orange County, NWS Los Angeles said.
