Best Answer

Tornadoes do not produce precipitation and they typically form in the rain free portion of their parent storms.

A tornado is defined a a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground and the cloud base of a thunderstorm. So as long as it meets this definition and has winds strong enough to cause damage it is a tornado.

How much rain comes from a tornado?

A tornado itself does not produce rain, but it can accompany a tornado. The storms the produce tornadoes, called supercells typically produce very heavy rain, often enough to prompt flash flood warnings. This rain may stop before the tornado comes, or the tornado may be rain wrapped. Some storms however, called LP (low-precipitation) supercells produce little to no rain at all, but can still produce tornadoes.

What forms when a tornado collapses in on itself?

Tornadoes cannot collapse in on themselves. In many cases a tornado will become much narrower as it enters its dissipating stage, and is said to be "roping out." During this stage the winds in the tornado may actually speed up as angular momentum is conserved. It is still considered a tornado until it dissipates completely.
