What are things that tell you that there's going to be a tornado?
Nothing is certain, but a major sign is rotation in the clouds during a thunderstorm with a lowering of the cloud base. The stronger the rotation, the more likely there will be a tornado. When a storm is approaching the most important thing to do is listen to your local radio or television station, or to whatever device carries current, local weather reports. Meteorologists are able to tell when a storm is likely to become violent, and whether it is the type of storm that can spawn a tornado. Without the technology used by the weather service, it is not possible to tell with any certainty whether a tornado is possible in any particular storm.
What weather conditions is a tornado most lkely to form in?
During severe thunderstorms.
Can a tornado form in any temperature?
No. Tornadoes cannot form during very cold weather.
How can you tell if a tornado is coming if you look outside where there are funnel clouds?
If you see a funnel cloud, take cover immediately! The funnel cloud itself means that there is already an imminent threat of a tornado touching down. The tornado may already be on the ground, as violent winds may have reached the surface even if the visible funnel hasn't. Generally, you should not rely on looking out the window, as the tornado may be obscured by rain or blocked from view by objects between you and it. It is dangerous to be near a window during a potentially tornadic storm, as the thin pane of glass offers little to no protection, and broken glass can cause serious injuries. It is best to pay attention to weather waring issued by the National Weather Service. Keep a battery powered weather radio handy and pay attention to any severe weather alerts issued for your area.

These are broadcast through TV and radio stations. You can also keep track of all current watches, warnings, and advisories in the United States by going to the Nation Weather Service website (see the link below). Since power outages are common during tornadoes, it is advisible to keep a battery powered NOAA weather radio handy. Some smart phone apps will also alert you to a tornado warning. In some towns in tornado-prone areas sirens will sound in the event of a tornado.
