Wider weather episode

An occluded surface low drifted southeastward from Georgian Bay toward central Lake Ontario on the 26th while multiple surface trough axes revolved around the low and moved generally southeastward across Lake Erie. Isolated to scattered lake-enhanced showers and thunderstorms accompanied the surface trough axes amidst weak deep layer bulk shear and weak to moderate MUCAPE over relatively-warm Lake Erie. Two lake-enhanced showers managed to spawn non-mesocyclonic waterspouts.
