Only to a very limited degree. Analysis of weather conditions can help determine the potential for tornadoes, including strong tornadoes, across a region on a given day. However, it cannot predict how strong individual tornadoes will be or where they will strike. We can also tell if a specific storm cell has potential to produce strong tornadoes, but we still cannot predict excactly when a tornado will form.

Can you predict when tornadoes happen?

Tornadoes can be predicted only to a very limited degree. By looking at weather conditions meteorologists can sometimes predict if a large general region might get tornadoes hours or even days ahead of time, but not exactly where or when tornadoes will strike. On a time scale of minutes meteorologists can often tell if a thunderstorm has the potential to produce a tornado, but still cannot be certain if a tornado will form or exactly where it will go.
