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

What the National Weather Service wrote

Two waterspouts were observed near Little Duck Key. Both waterspouts were in the mature phase with spray rings visible. Both condensation funnel clouds were narrow.

The wider storm

A shortwave upper level trough over the Florida Peninsula combined with the lower tropospheric ridge axis to the east-southeast of the Florida Keys promoted a west-southwest flow. This synoptic environment supported the growth of a regenerative convective cloud line east of Big Pine Key through the Florida Bay waters north of Marathon.

Began near Big Pine Key (24.6900, -81.2500).
