Wider weather episode

A front approached from the northwest with a moist and unstable airmass ahead of it across the local area. Slow steering flow and high moisture across the area ahead of the front produced sea breeze showers and storms that produced locally heavy rainfall. Weak shear but high instability across the local marine waters produced waterspouts.
