...POSSIBLE WATERSPOUT OFF OF SEA ISLE CITY...

THE SEA ISLE CITY BEACH PATROL NOTICED A POSSIBLE FUNNEL CLOUD OR 
WATERSPOUT OVER THE NEARBY ATLANTIC. LATEST DOPPLER RADAR IMAGERY 
WAS NOT SHOWING MUCH OF A CIRCULATION...ALTHOUGH THIS METEOROLOGICAL 
PHENOMENON MAY BE TOO SMALL TO BE DETECTED BY THE RADAR. THE TOPS OF 
THE CUMULUS CLOUDS WERE RELATIVELY LOW. PERSONS NEAR THE SHORE 
SHOULD REMAIN ALERT UNTIL THIS FUNNEL CLOUD OR WATERSPOUT 
DISSIPATES. STAY INDOORS AND IF ON THE WATER...AVOID IT. WINDS IN 
WATERSPOUTS ARE USUALLY MUCH WEAKER THAN THE WINDS THAT OCCUR WITH 
TORNADOES.
