Figure 1 shows the surface observations at 7:00 am CDT, which shows a low pressure developing on the Saskatchewan/Montana border. This low brought southerly flow across southern Manitoba. The complex interactions between lake-breeze and terrain interactions with the Manitoba Escarpment likely triggered thunderstorms in the afternoon/early evening hours of July 12th, which ultimately led to this F1 tornado.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (2018), an F1 tornado touched down at 7:00 pm CDT near Wawanesa, MB. The track and width of the tornado was not documented by ECCC. The tornado caused no fatalities, no injuries and no property damage.
