Waterspouts are possible in Lake Michigan Wednesday, including potentially in the Chicago area, forecasters warn.
, there are two types of waterspouts. They are called fair weather waterspouts and tornadic waterspouts.
"Tornadic waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water, or move from land to water," the NWS reports."They have the same characteristics as a land tornado. They are associated with severe thunderstorms, and are often accompanied by high winds and seas, large hail, and frequent dangerous lightning.""This is caused by cold air over a uniformly warm Lake Michigan," according to the NBC Storm Team, which warns that"direct contact can be dangerous.
Fair weather waterspouts develop on the surface of the water and build upward, but are typically not associated with thunderstorms.This article tagged under:
