No, anticyclones are high-pressure systems and are generally associate with fair weather.
Tornadoes are more often associated with fronts and low pressure systems or cyclones.

Are tornadoes called cyclones?
Informally some people do call them cyclones, by this is technically incorrect. While they share some traits, tornadoes and cyclones are different types of weather pattern.
What planet has tornadoes frequently?
I'm not sure about tornadoes but the planet Jupiter is subject to cyclones i.e. The Great Red Spot .
What type of thunderstorms are associated with tornadoes?
Tornadoes, especially strong tornadoes, are most often associated with a type of thunderstorm called a supercell.
Do tornadoes have real eyes?
Many tornadoes have a structure similar to the eye of a hurricane, but the only true eyes are in tropical cyclones. In Tornadoes and other storms it is called a weak echo region.
Are tornadoes associated with warm fronts?
Generally not. Tornadoes and other severe weather are more often associated with cold fronts.
Do tornadoes form in a cyclone?
Most tornadoes form from thunderstorms along a front associated with a cyclone, but most cyclones do not produce tornadoes.
Do cyclones have tornadoes in them?
Some cyclones produce tornadoes, but most do not.
What type of weather is associated with anti- cyclones?
Anticyclones usually bring clam, sunny weather.
What is the biggest Tornadoes or cyclones?
Cyclones are far larger. Cyclones are hundreds of miles across while tornadoes are usually less than a quarter of a mile wide.

Which way do cyclones and tornadoes blow in the northern hemisphere?
Cyclones spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere.
Are tornadoes cyclones or anticyclones?
The answer is simple. No. Tornados are on land, while cyclones are in water.
Are most cyclones tornadoes?
No. Tornadoes and cyclones are different things. A cyclone is a large-scale low pressure system while a tornado is a small-scale vortex within a thunderstorm. Most cyclones are mid-latitude cyclones.
Are all hurricanes cyclones and tornadoes named?
No. All hurricanes and other tropical cyclones above tropical depression strength get named, however extratropical cyclones are not named. Tornadoes never get names.
Why are tornadoes bigger then cyclones?
They are not. Tornadoes are much smaller than cyclones. A true cyclone is generally a few hundred miles across while tornadoes are rarely over a mile wide. Tornadoes are smaller because they form within individual thunderstorms while cyclones are their own weather systems.
Are tornadoes more common than cyclones?
yes
