Waterspout October 23, 2018 · Cape Cod Bay, Atlantic North

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

What the National Weather Service wrote

A waterspout was seen over Cape Cod Bay, off Scusset Beach and Sagamore Beach and about one mile north of the entrance to the Cape Cod Canal. No damage was reported.

The wider storm

Low pressure over upstate New York moved east-southeastward across northern Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts during the afternoon and early evening of October 23rd. A warm front extending eastward from the low, combined with strong mid-level wind shear, provided the focus for development of waterspouts over the waters.

Began near Manomet Point (41.7938, -70.5009).
