Description:
At 1217 PM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking a cluster of strong
thunderstorms capable of producing waterspouts over marine areas 10
miles west of Dulac, or 18 miles southwest of Houma, moving west at
20 mph.
HAZARD...Waterspouts and winds in excess of 40 mph.
SOURCE...Radar indicated.
IMPACT...Waterspouts can easily overturn boats and create locally
hazardous waters. Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs
and blow around unsecured objects.
Locations impacted include...
Dulac, Cocodrie, and Lumcon Center Buoy.
Instruction:
If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building.
Conditions are favorable for the development of brief funnel clouds
or weak waterspouts near marine areas. These waterspouts are
typically weak and short-lived, but they can still pose a hazard to
boaters and anyone near the water.
Do not apporach a waterspout. If one moves towards your location,
move indoors. If you are on the water, seek safe harbor immediately.
