Figure 1 depicts the surface analysis at 5:00 pm EDT, showing a significant occluding low pressure system over Wisconsin. A warm front is extending across the Great Lakes and through southern Ontario. This front became the focus for thunderstorm development in the late afternoon and evening hours. Lake-breeze interactions from Georgian Bay may have also played a roll in initiating storms and storm intensification for this F0 tornado to develop.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (2018), an F0 tornado touched down at 7:55 pm EDT near Underwood, ON. The track and width of the tornado was not documented by ECCC. The tornado caused no injuries, fatalities or property damage.
