What the National Weather Service wrote

A video shared on social media showed a waterspout in Fourchon.

The wider storm

The local area was on the eastern periphery of an upper level ridge. A weak frontal boundary was slowly sagging in from the northeast due to the presence of an upper level trough along the east coast of the United States. Strong daytime heating combined with ample moisture in place and weak surface boundary convergence created an environment conducive for widespread thunderstorms over the marine areas.

Began near Dulac - Xdul Weatherflow (29.1300, -90.2000).
