It is not known as the how Saturn's atmosphere operates on a small scale is not fully understood. One thing that makes it seem unlikely, is that tornado development involves interation between a storm and a solid or liquid surface. There is no such surface on Saturn.

While Saturn has some very intense storms, including some cyclones there is no real evidence of actual tornadoes on Saturn. However, our exploration od Saturn is limited, and it is unlikely that we could detect tornadoes or tornado-like vortices as, compared with other storms, they are much smaller and harder to detect.
