Not on their own. It is not uncommon to find severe thunderstorms along a cold front. But other ingredients such as wind shear are needed for those storms to produce tornadoes. Additionally, not all tornadoes are associated with cold fronts. Tornadoes may also occur in association with a dry line, a warm front, or a hurricane.

∙ 13y agoThe weather is often hot an humid before tornadoes and other severe weather. Tornadoes are typically formed when wind shear produces horizontal vorticity near the ground. This vorticity is turned vertical by the updraft of a thunderstorm, creating a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. This rotation can then tighten and intensify to form a tornado.
The storms themselves usually form along a cold front.

∙ 12y agoDue to the pressure drop the air inside a tornado is probably cooler than its surrounding, though not necessarily cold as tornadoes form from thunderstorms, which occur primarily in spring and summer.

∙ 11y agoNo. Tornadoes usually occur with warm weather.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoUsually tornadoes are accompanied by rain. However a tornado often forms in the part of a storm that does not produce rain.

∙ 9y agoTornadoes can get cold, but they are mainly associated with warm air currents. Cold air funnels last for a short period of time and reach temperatures as low as 30 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can snow occur during a tornado?
No. Tornadoes are often accompanied by rain or hail, but if it is cold enough for snow, it is too cold for a tornado.
What weakens a tornado?
Tornadoes usually weaken if cold or dry air starts feeding into the updraft of the thunderstorm that drives the tornado. This causes the updraft, and thus the tornado, to lose power.
When warm air is lifted up over the cold air it is called?
tornado
Is a tornado torsion?
Yes. When a tornado forms, hot and cold air come together. They spiral around each other at a great speed, which is known as torsion.
Are tornadoes usually formed in tornado ally?
Yes the majority of tornadoes happen in tornado alley. However it is not because tornado alley is generally flatter then the rest of the US. It has to do with the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico meeting the cold air from Canada in that region that causes tornadoes to mainly form there.
What 2 fronts can cause a tornado?
cold and warm fronts can cause a tornado
Can snow occur during a tornado?
No. Tornadoes are often accompanied by rain or hail, but if it is cold enough for snow, it is too cold for a tornado.
Which continent has never had a typhoon or tornado?
Antarctica has never had a typhoon or a tornado as it is too cold.
What does cold and hot air make?
it makes a tornado
What front is needed for a tornado?
mostly cold fronts
What human activities can increase or worsen the impact of a tornado?
Humans can not effect a tornado. Only nature can make a tornado occur. The cold and hot air curl together and form the tornado.
What does Hot and cold air moving make?
it makes a tornado
What does Hot and cold air moving making what?
it makes a tornado
What is it called when cold air meets warm air?
tornado
What weakens a tornado?
Tornadoes usually weaken if cold or dry air starts feeding into the updraft of the thunderstorm that drives the tornado. This causes the updraft, and thus the tornado, to lose power.
What develops when cold dry air becomes warm and moist?
A tornado.
What are cause of a tornado's?
a tornados's is caused by hot and cold weather together
