Figure 1 depicts the surface observations at 10:00 pm CDT, which shows a low pressure system in North Dakota with a warm front extending northeast across southeastern Manitoba. This warm front became the focus for intense thunderstorms across southern Manitoba in the evening hours of July 2nd, which ultimately led to this tornado.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (2018), an F2 tornado touched down at 8:20 pm CDT north of Pilot Mound, MB. The tornado travelled for 9.15 km and had a maximum width of 1.3 km. The tornado caused no fatalities, injuries or documented property damage.
