A developing tornado can be detected by Doppler radar. This radar can measure wind speeds, and strong rotation withing a thunderstorm often indicates that at tornado is developing or is likely to develop.

Can it be possible for hail to fall during a storm tornado and the weather service not know about?
Yes. This is especially possible if the hail or tornado occurs in an unpopulated area far from the nearest radar site.
How do you know when a tornado is near?
If there is a tornado then the National Weather Service will issue a tornado waring saying a tornado has been detected.
How do scientists know when a tornado is actually coming?
Scientists can detect the signature of a possible tornado using Doppler radar. However, they rely on reports from spotters, police, and the general public to know if a tornado is actually on the ground.
When will the next tornado hit Scotland and where?
It is impossible to make long term predictions for when and where a tornado will occur. At best, we will know about this next tornado a few minutes before it forms.
Can it be predicted when a tornado will happen?
Only to a very limited degree. On the long term, analysis of large scale weather patterns can determine a period of a few hours in which tornadoes are likely to form in a region. However, this analysis cannot predict where or when individual tornadoes will strike. On the sorter term, radar analysis can determine if a tornado is likely to produce a tornado in the next few minutes, though it still cannot say when a tornado will form. If a tornado has already formed and we know its location, speed, and direction, we can gauge approximately when it will reach certain locations.
How do you know if a tornado will happen?
it will be announced on the radio that a tornado has been spotted in your area
Is there going to be a tornado in Orlando Florida?
It is inevitable that Orlando will eventually have a tornado, as it is in a tornado prone area. However we won't know when the next one will be until it actually happens.
The area with the worst and most frequent tornadoes is know as what?
This region is called Tornado Alley.
Can you predict a tornado?
Different storm centers (National Weather Service as an example) have high tech radars to detect any tornadoes that are forming or are potentially able to form. Meteorologists know the conditions that contribute to the forming of any tornadoes.
Why is important to know about tornado alley?
It is important to know about Tornado Alley because it has a high incidence of tornadoes. This is important in the study of tornadoes and also to those who live in the region since, as with any area, it is important to know the potential hazards.
Why is there little to no warning when a tornado occurs?
Tornadoes are poorly understood and scientists are still not sure what is involved in forming them. Furthermore, the factors that we do know contribute to tornadoes can be diffdifficult to detect.
Why is it important to know a tornado's speed?
It is useful to know the wind speed of a tornado because it provides an understanding of tornado intensity and dynamics. It is important to know the forwards peed of a tornado because that is needed to know when a tornado might reach a location in its path.
Can it be possible for hail to fall during a storm tornado and the weather service not know about?
Yes. This is especially possible if the hail or tornado occurs in an unpopulated area far from the nearest radar site.
Why is it important to issue tornado warnings as early as possible?
I used to live in Tornado Alley... a tornado watch means that the weather conditions mean it is very likely that a tornado will form in an area. A tornado warning means a tornado has touched down nearby.
What is a tornado watch and a tornado warning?
A tornado watch is a watch that is watching out for tornadoes. A tornado warning is a warning That lets you know that a tornado is spotted.
How do you know when a tornado is near?
If there is a tornado then the National Weather Service will issue a tornado waring saying a tornado has been detected.
When do you use climate maps?
When you want to know the climate of a certain area.
