Search for: [Abstract = "Recently Montenegro has often been faced with extreme weather events. The aim of this paper is to provide a detailed synoptic analysis of a severe weather event, a waterspout, and to confirm an indication that in most cases such events could potentially be forecasted, which is of great practical significance, since human lives and property can be saved. The paper presents the research results of synoptic and mesoscale weather conditions which created a favourable meteorological environment for a waterspout development in Tivat \(Montenegrin coast\) on June 9, 2018, around 01 UTC \(03 CET\). Based on field survey analysis, the rating of tornado intensity by the Fujita scale \(F\-scale\) has been done by assessing the damage. The synoptic type for this situation was CLOSED\-SW and was determined by a detailed examination of atmospheric circulation. The results presented in the manuscript can help decision makers in Montenegro to take certain adaptation measures \(above all, in tourism and construction\) in order to mitig te the negative consequences of weather extremes."]
