Figure 1 shows the surface observations at 1:00 pm CDT, which shows a low pressure system on the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border with a warm front extending east across Manitoba and a cold front extending west across Saskatchewan. A trough of low pressure is also observed extending south across western Manitoba from the low pressure. This trough was the focus for storms in the warm sector across Manitoba in the afternoon hours of June 24th, which ultimately led to several tornadoes.
Several tornadoes occurred on this day:
- Whitemud Watershed, MB F0 Tornado
- Winnipeg, MB F0 Tornado
- Kelwood, MB F0 Tornado
- Plumas, MB F0 Tornado
- Roseisle, MB F0 Tornado
