Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	An upper level disturbance moved over southern New England bringing showers and thunderstorms to the region. Precipitable water values over two inches indicated a very moist atmosphere; in addition, weak winds at the mid levels resulted in very slow moving storms. Both of these things led to torrential rainfall and flash flooding. Convergence at the surface and a significantly unstable environment resulted in a shower producing a waterspout over the Quabbin Reservoir in New Salem, Massachusetts. A Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) employee at the reservoir was able to snap several photos of the waterspout and reported that it never moved onto land.
