waterspot
Check out this water spout that was captured on video today at Sunset Marina in Pickett County by Madison Hill.

The waterspout in Pickett County today was a phenomena we don't see very often here in Tennessee, says FOX 17 Meteorologist Colleen Mehlberg.

It just so happened that the right ingredients lined up at the perfect time to create this spectacle, says Mehlberg. Looking back and comparing with the NWS, it seems most likely that a gust front from approaching thunderstorms brought in cooler air that interacted with warmer lake waters and the curvature of the lake itself to create a quick spin-up.


It didn't last long and winds stayed below severe limits. Mehlberg said if this had developed over land we would have called this a gustnado.
