The wider storm

A cold front plowed across the lower Great Lakes region during the evening hours pushing a broken line of thunderstorms across western New York. Numerous marine thunderstorm wind reports were received as the line of thunderstorms moved through with even an isolated wind damage report over Niagara County. The cold air behind this front then helped spawn a waterspout late the following afternoon over southeast Lake Ontario.

Began near Dunkirk (42.5167, -79.3450).
