Very infrequently, though it would help to have specific definition of "bad weather". A tornado can't occur during a blizzard or a simple rain shower. Tornadoes require strong thunderstorms to form and even then the storm needs to have some sort of rotation to start the tornado. It is not uncommon to see a few tornadoes in the outer storm bands of a hurricane.

In the United States it is estimated that about 1% of all thunderstorms produce tornadoes, though the frequency varies by region; thunderstorms in the Midwest are more likely to produce tornadoes than those in the Northeast.

Storm chasers and weather experts help to track where a tornado is and where it is going. This information is used to determine who might be in a tornado's path and tell them how to get to safety.

How do they find out how bad a tornado is going to be?

In most cases, they don't know. The intensity of a tornado is assessed after it has gone through. That said, a tornado the has a strong velocity signature on radar, there is a good chance that it is a strong one capable of causing major damage. If there is a debris signature, it often means significant damage is occurring. This being considered, can only lead to an educated guess of how bad a tornado might end up being.

Is true when the national weather service issues a tornado watch a tornado has been spotted?

No, if a tornado is spotted a tornado warning is issued .A tornado watch is not as bad as a tornado warning is. The watch just means that it is the type of weather that could POSSIBLY produce a tornado. It doesnt even mean that there is rotation or high winds. A warning is something to worry about though.


What worse a watch or a warning?

A warning is worse. It means that something (like a tornado) has been detected or the threat of one is imminent. A watch means the overall conditions are favorable to form bad weather (such as a tornado) in a general area.


Can you be a tornado chaser?

a tornado chaser is someone who researches tornadoes and follows track to take pictures of the tornado. I wouldn't recommend you being a tornado chaser, because it can result in bad harm, and it may be fatal :/ but.. anyone can be a tornado chaser.. if they dare. All they need is a camera and they can start working. But it depends really. Do you want to be one? You can study about weather and work your way up.
