episode_narrativeWeather conditions along the South Texas Coastal Bend during mid-summer are often conducive to funnel cloud and waterspout development. During the time periods of early to mid morning and late afternoon to early evening, conditions are generally more favorable for the formation of these tropical funnels and weak waterspouts. Instability in the form of early morning thermals within towering cumulus and convection forced later in the day along the seabreeze boundary are the two main mechanisms responsible for these reports.
