Figure 1 shows the surface observations at 7:00 am CDT, which shows a low pressure in south-central North Dakota with a trough of low pressure extending north across southern Manitoba, a cold front extending south across South Dakota and a warm front extending east across Minnesota. The trough was the focus for an intense thunderstorm across southeastern Manitoba, which ultimately led to this tornado.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (2018), an F1 tornado touched down at 9:00 am CDT near Piney, MB. The track and width of the tornado was not documented by ECCC. The tornado caused no fatalities, injuries or property damage.
