Figure 1 shows the surface observations at 1:00 pm CDT, which shows an occluding low pressure over northern Minnesota. This low brought northerly flow across southern Manitoba, which likely induced lake-breeze boundaries (LBB) south of Lake Manitoba.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (2018), an F0 tornado touched down at 5:00 pm CDT near Carman, MB. The track and width of the tornado was not documented by ECCC. The tornado caused no fatalities, injuries or property damage.
