Figure 1 depicts the surface analysis at 1:00 pm CDT, where an outflow boundary is observed just west of Dryden, just south of a stationary front. Figure 1 also depicts ongoing thunderstorms at the Manitoba/Ontario border.
Figure 2 depicts a strong low “occluding” in southern Saskatchewan, with a warm front stretching across North Dakota into the Great Lakes. A stationary boundary stretches from Alberta to northern Quebec, separating an area of high pressure. The interaction from the warm front, stationary front and outflow boundary likely played a role in the development of this tornado.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (2018), an F0 tornado touched down at 8:00 pm CDT near Dryden, ON. The track and width of the tornado was not documented by ECCC. The tornado caused no injuries, fatality or property damage.
