Only to a limited degree. There are two levels of tornado forecasting: long-term and short-term. In long-term forecasting, scientists rely on regional weather patterns and computer models to find regions that will be at risk, usually over a period of a few hours. These forecasts can be made up to a few days in advance, and become more accurate as the predicted event draws closer. Long-term forecasts can asses the general tornado risk in a region on a given day, but cannot tell where or when individual tornadoes will touch down.
Short-term forecasts use Doppler radar and eyewitness reports to track thunderstorms that may produce tornadoes. These predictions are made on time scale measured in minutes. They can provide warnings for specific locations, but cannot predict exactly when a tornado will form.
What else can I help you with?
Where will the next tornado happen?
It is impossible to predict where the next tornado will occur.
When is Arizona going to have or next tornado?
It is impossible to predict when the next tornado will happen anywhere.
When do you think the next tornado will happen in New York State?
It is impossible to predict when then next tornado will strike for any location.
How could you predict a tornado was coming?
If you can see the tornado
Are tornadoes predictable?
No, not really. The national weather service can see that some conditions exist that could lead to a tornado, but they can not predict when it will happen or where.
Is the path of a tornado easy to predict?
No. A tornado's path is virtually unpredicatable.

It is impossible to predict when the next tornado will be anywhere.

Unfornuntately, is is impossible to predict when then next tornado will hit anywhere.

That is impossible to predict.
When will Milwaukee WI have a tornado?
It is impossible to predict when any given location will have its next tornado.
What is the next tornado in Saint Charles?
It is impossible to predict when the next tornado will hit anywhere.
Can you predict if a tornado is about to happen?
Not exactly. If a tornado is imminent then Doppler radar will probably detect the rotation wand a warning will be issued that a tornado may soon form. Often, especially with areas of major damage, the tornado has already been on the ground for at least a few minutes and moves into the area. Meteorologists can often detect the signature of a tornado on radar will announce where the tornado is and where it is going.
