waterspout

Be on the lookout! The forecast says conditions look favorable for waterspouts.

Minnesotans out enjoying some time on a lake up north over the 4th of July weekend got to see something Mother Nature doesn't often show us.

The National Weather Service shared their initial assessment on its nearly 2-mile track.

A rare Lake Superior weather phenomenon was spotted just off the Minnesota North Shore of Lake Superior on Tuesday night.

While there was no severe weather associated with Thursday's rain system, a visual often associated with severe weather was spotted on a Northern Minnesota lake.

Waterspouts are generally a warm-season phenomenon, appearing over large bodies of water like Lake Superior. Saturday afternoon (December 7), multiple cold air waterspouts were spotted near Knife River, north of Duluth on the Minnesota North Shore.

While not totally rare to the Great Lakes, waterspouts aren't usually seen around the Twin Ports. Today, however, was an exception.
