The HWO for Western Michigan makes note of the strong cold front coming through and the potential for waterspouts on the great lakes.
I always mean to chase these but the forecast is always so sketchy that I never head out to the lakes.
Basically you look for a strong temperature differential. Warm lake cold air and you have the potential for waterspouts. Saw some nice dust devils in Wyoming/Nebraska this summer. Same deal, warm ground, cooler air. The dust devils got me thinking about waterspouts.
Anyone chase them, or have seen them on the great lakes ??
