How much rain comes from a tornado?
A tornado itself does not produce rain, but it can accompany a tornado. The storms the produce tornadoes, called supercells typically produce very heavy rain, often enough to prompt flash flood warnings. This rain may stop before the tornado comes, or the tornado may be rain wrapped. Some storms however, called LP (low-precipitation) supercells produce little to no rain at all, but can still produce tornadoes.
Can you see a tornado when it is heavy rain fall?
Very often you cannot see them because the tornado is obscured by the rain. This makes such "rain wrapped" tornadoes especially dangerous.
What type weather is before tornado?
Tornadoes are usually preceded by heavy rain and sometimes large hail as well a thunder and lightning. The rain often stops before the tornado hits, but not always (in which case it is called a "rain wrapped" tornado).
