...TROPICAL FUNNEL CLOUD SIGHTED...

At 1242...The National Weather Service has received a
report of a waterspout in the vicinity of Sabine Lake.

A very moist and unstable tropical airmass is in place across 
the area. Meanwhile...the vertical wind profile over the area 
is light and variable. These conditions are favorable for the 
development of tropical funnel clouds...especially where rain 
cooled boundaries...known as outflow boundaries...and the 
seabreeze collide.

These tropical funnel clouds are usually short-lived and do not 
reach the ground. If the funnel cloud becomes more severe and 
reaches the ground...minor damage may occur...and a tornado 
warning will likely be issued. 

Stay tuned for later statements and updates on this weather 
situation.
