 And the National Weather Service says a water spout tracked for nearly two miles across Lake Vermilion in northeast Minnesota yesterday afternoon. There were no reports of damage or injuries, as the water spout likely stayed on the open water of the lake. It was captured in photos and video. There were not widespread severe thunderstorms yesterday, but the Weather Service says atmospheric conditions were favorable for funnel clouds to form, even from weaker storms. Scattered showers and storms are possible across the region this afternoon and evening.
