Waterspout June 9, 2023 · Bayside and Gulfside From Craig Key To West End of Seven Mile Bridge, Gulf of Mexico

Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

A waterspout was observed north of Seven Mile Bridge. The condensation funnel cloud was of moderate width and extended one-half the way down from cloud base. A spray ring was observed.

The wider storm

The combination of an upper level trough over the Gulf of Mexico and deep lower-to-middle tropospheric ridging over the Greater Antilles supported a deep, moist west-southwest flow over the Florida Keys. A regenerative convective cloud line from the southern portion of Big Pine Key and Bahia Honda Key into the Florida Bay waters north of Marathon became a focus for numerous waterspouts throughout June 9, 2023.

Began near Marathon (24.6950, -81.2000).
