#KnowledgeBit: A #Waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water.
Some are connected to a cumulus congestus cloud, some to a cumuliform cloud and some to a cumulonimbus cloud.

Cherry: The Final Flowering
April is always a strange time here in our particular corner of the PNW where our house seems to sit in its own tiny pocket of micro-climate. We have what I believe is the last-to-bloom cherry tree in Seattle.
Three days ago the tree was bare and the sky brilliant blue. Two days ago we had thunder, lightning, hail…and a waterspout over Puget Sound. Waterspout sounds sort of cute ad friendly, doesn’t it? It’s not. It’s a tornado over water—you do not want to encounter one if you’re in a boat. (Both these images are screen grabs from local news video—like the cats, I was very sensibly safe indoors; sorry for the poor quality.)
Yesterday? The cherry tree decided, Okay, the weather has thrown its final spring curveball, safe to bloom! And so it did.
Every year the speed of change surprises me. One day nothing—no leaves, no flowers—then one morning buds with tiny pink frills peeking from the tips. Then, hours or days later (always unexpected), spang! Leaves and flowers at once. Within a week the whole tree will look like a puff of cotton candy; three of four days after that they’ll all fall off and turn the lawn into a pink carpet. For days the cats will come home covered in petals, tracking them everywhere. Sadly (for us—Kelley really likes cherries), despite all the flowering there will be no fruit. There never is. I don’t know why. The tree is at least 25 years old, so it’s not a question of age. I don’t think it’s a nutrient or sunlight issue, either. I think our cherry just doesn’t have any suitable friends close enough to cross-pollinate.
Perhaps one day someone will plant something compatible, and one day there will be tiny little cherry trees springing up all over. Until then, the birds love the tree. The cats love the tree. And I love the tree. It seems content.

SEA SMOKE...AND A WATERSPOUT?
A viewer shared with me their view of the "#seasmoke" that took place last Saturday on #LakeSuperior.
A closer look shows a...possible #waterspout?
I'm not too familiar with cold weather waterspouts, but it does look like it.
What do you think?

Twin waterspouts merge near the Italian coastline.
A local tour boat operator paused an excursion so he could film the waterspouts off Italy's east coast.

As I got out of my car at home just a few minutes back, I spotted this weird, isolated, streamer in the upper clouds. Never seen anything like it. We do sometimes have waterspouts, but the forecast says that's unlikely. Still, a precursor? Anyone in the know?
Location: at or just off the beach on the central Oregon coast.

Interesting case with a #waterspout over lake constance (16.09, ~12:30 UTC). Would not expect such an event in a WAA regime with stratiform rain. Seems that the lowest 2 km were decoupled with rather steep lapse rates near the ground and strong WAA above. https://www.suedkurier.de/region/bodenseekreis/bodenseekreis/spektakulaeres-wetterphaenomen-vor-friedrichshafen;art410936,12180511
