Dugald - Beausejour - Grand Beach


Figure 1 shows the surface observations at 7:00 am CDT, which shows large area of low pressure in Alberta, a cold front moving across eastern Manitoba and a warm front across western North Dakota. It appears that the cold front became stationary throughout the day, thereby spawning some thunderstorms across southeastern Manitoba, which ultimately led to two tornadoes on this day.
