No. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorms. Some tornadoes form with low-precipitation supercells, which produce little or no rain.

Tornadoes themselves often form in a rain free area of a storm. Some tornadoes are embedded in very heavy rain. Such tornadoes are said to be rain-wrapped.
Do tornadoes bring heavy rain?
Tornadoes do not cause rain but they are usually accompanied by heavy rain. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms called supercells. Those same storms often produce torrential rain that poses a flash flooding risk.
Do tornadoes start by rainy weather?
Tornadoes form in thunderstorms so they are usually accompanied by or preceded by rain. But the rain itself is not the main factor in tornado formation as storms with little or no rain can also produce tornadoes.
What precipitation is associated with tornadoes?
Tornadoes are usually accompanied by rain and commonly by hail.
