🌪️WATERSPOUT ALERT 🌪️Not one, not two, but (nearly) three waterspouts are moving over Lake Ontario this morning. Just north of Sodus Bay. @News_8 @EricSnitilWx @JohnKucko pic.twitter.com/MLSG3CRvkq— James Gilbert (@JamesGilbertWX) October 8, 2024
These storms helped trigger a marine warning as waterspouts can cause major problems for boaters along the water.

Here's a close up view of the waterspout this morning on Lake Ontario. A drastic difference between the warm water temperatures and cold air has helped these form over the lake. pic.twitter.com/DVQAv7iijW— James Gilbert (@JamesGilbertWX) October 8, 2024
These waterspouts paired with several showers that passed along Lake Ontario and dumped heavy rain over Oswego County.
