This slender EF0 tornado was brief and weak, producing no damage as it touched down in a field near Kenilworth, outside of Arthur. The tornado was spawned from a light shower that barely appeared as more than a blip on Doppler radar.
CANWARN spotter and storm chaser Dave Patrick recorded the event, with video showing a long and slim funnel cloud condensing downward. He was able to confirm that the circulation did reach the ground twice, though it occurred in a remote forested area and so no damage was detected.
Figure 1 depicts the surface observations at 5:00 pm EDT, which shows an outflow boundary in Grey-Bruce County in southern Ontario. This boundary promoted storm development throughout the afternoon and evening hours of June 1st, which ultimately led to this tornado.
