Tornadoes are themselves small low pressure areas, and generally form with low pressure systems. Most low pressure systems, however, do not produce tornadoes.

Do tornadoes form when there is high pressure?
No. Tornadoes and other forms of inclement weather generally form when pressure is low.
Do tornadoes form in low or high pressure?
Like nearly all stormy weather, tornadoes are usually associated with low pressure.
Do hurricanes and tornadoes form over low pressure areas?
It is better to day they form in low pressure areas. Hurricanes themselves are large, intense low pressure systems. Tornadoes also produce low pressure but are too small to be considered their own weather systems. They generally form in a broad area of low pressure as well.
Do tornadoes create low or high pressure?
Tornadoes produce low pressure.
What type of air pressure creates a tornado?
Tornadoes form under conditions of low pressure
Do both tornadoes and hurricanes form from high pressure systems?
No. Like most forms of violent weather, hurricanes and tornadoes are associated with low pressure.
Are tornadoes formed by low pressure?
Not directly, but the systems that produce tornadoes do have low barometric pressure.
Is a tornado better in high or low pressure?
Tornadoes are always part of a low pressure system and do not form in high pressure.
Does there have to be low pressure before a tornado can form?
Yes. The systems that produce tornadoes produce low pressure. Most tornadoes form from the mesocyclone of a supercell, which produces a note worth pressure drop. However, when the bottom portion of a mesocyclone becomes more focused to form a tornado the pressure drop is comparable to that of a hurricane if not greater.
Do tornadoes and hurricanes need low air pressure?
Yes. Tornadoes and hurricanes are both areas of low pressure.
Are tornadoes associated with high or low pressure?
Tornadoes and other forms of severe or stormy weather are associated with low pressure.
Do tornadoes begin as areas of low pressure?
If you mean a low pressure system. Then no, low pressure systems may throw out impulses cause severe rotation and tornadoes but they do not start as a low pressure system.
