Figure 1 shows the surface observations at 7:00 am CDT, which shows no dominant features across Manitoba. The only thing of note is weak troughing across Manitoba, which is better observed in upper-air charts (Figure 2).

Figure 2 shows said weak negatively-tilted upper-level trough. This trough, possibly aided by some lake-breeze interactions, triggered thunderstorms across southern Manitoba and ultimately led to three tornadoes across the province on this day. Evidence suggest that a single long-track supercell may have produced all of the three tornadoes.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (2018), an F0 tornado touched down at 4:30 pm CDT near Oakland, MB. The track and width of this tornado was not documented by ECCC. The tornado caused no injuries, fatalities or property damage.
