Tornadoes do not produce precipitation and they typically form in the rain free portion of their parent storms.

A tornado is defined a a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground and the cloud base of a thunderstorm. So as long as it meets this definition and has winds strong enough to cause damage it is a tornado.

How much precipitation is produced in a considerable tornado?

In a considerable tornado, the amount of precipitation produced can vary depending on the size and intensity of the tornado. Tornadoes are typically associated with heavy rainfall, hail, and sometimes even snow or sleet. The precipitation can range from a few inches to several feet in extreme cases, with the most intense tornadoes capable of producing significant amounts of precipitation in a short period of time.

How much rain falls during a tornado?

It depends. Most tornadoes are preceded by very heavy rain, but they sometimes form in low-precipitation (LP) storms, which produce little or no rain.


What forms when a tornado collapses in on itself?

Tornadoes cannot collapse in on themselves. In many cases a tornado will become much narrower as it enters its dissipating stage, and is said to be "roping out." During this stage the winds in the tornado may actually speed up as angular momentum is conserved. It is still considered a tornado until it dissipates completely.


How much precipitation do cumulus clouds produce?

Cumulus clouds can produce varying amounts of precipitation, typically in the form of rain showers. The amount of precipitation produced by cumulus clouds depends on factors such as the size and vertical development of the cloud, atmospheric conditions, and location.


How much land is destroyed in a tornado?

How many tons of forage produced per acre?

This all depends on location, precipitation received, time of year, etc. There is no standard number for all parts of the world or the country for how much forage is produced per acre.


How many tornadoes were in the tri state tornado?

The Tri-State tornado itself is believed to have been a single tornado as the damage path appears to have been continuous. That monster of a storm was part of an outbreak that produced 9 known tornadoes. The actual number of tornadoes in the outbreak was probably much higher, however, as at the time there was no system of recording tornadoes.


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.


How much precipitation during a tornado?

Tornadoes form during severe thunderstorms called supercells, which often produce heavy rain and sometimes large hail. The tornado itself often develops in a rain-free part of the storm, but may also be shrouded in heavy rain. Rainfall rates can exceed an inch per hour.
