Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	On September 24th, 2011 an unseasonably cold air mass flowed over the warm waters of Lake Michigan creating very unstable conditions in the low levels of the atmosphere. The lake surface temperature was estimated to be in the lower to middle 60s F. Meanwhile, the ambient air around 4000 feet was estimated to be 40 degrees F creating very unstable conditions over the low levels of Lake Michigan. Updrafts from nearby showers and thunderstorms resulted in convergent boundaries over the near shore waters of Lake Michigan. The combination of the unstable atmosphere and these boundaries caused five observed waterspouts just offshore of downtown Milwaukee, and two observed waterspouts just offshore of Kenosha. The waterspouts remained offshore and did not cause any property damage. Most of the waterspouts were filmed by WISN-TV.
Event narrativeevent_narrative	This was the first of five waterspouts that developed just southeast of Milwaukee Harbor.
