Figure 1 depicts the surface observations at 1:00 pm CDT, which shows a low pressure system in southern Manitoba with a warm front extending east across northwestern Ontario and a stationary front extending southwest across North Dakota. The stationary front was the focus for intense thunderstorms across southern Manitoba in the early afternoon hours of June 25nd, which ultimately led to this tornado.
