The Lake Erie and Lake Ontario breezes converged over Southern Ontario on Monday. The atmosphere was ripe for severe storms to develop. As the air was forced upward a severe storm developed. The winds aloft interacted with this lake breeze boundary and a rotation began to form. This spin became the Buffalo Tornado.
