Not usually. Most tornadoes are in the rear portion of a supercell, though there are occasional exceptions.

Can a super cell cause a tornado?
Yes. In fact the vast majority of tornadoes are produced by supercells.
Are the twister sister tornadoes real?
Yes, a super cell thunderstorm can produce more than one tornado simultaneously. Although it's a very rare occurrence. In addition, in rare instances, a tornado may have two or more funnels.
How big is a super cell tornado?
There is no given size. Most are fairly small (in weather terms) ranging between 50 and 200 yards wide. However occasionally these tornadoes can grow to over a mile wide with some exceeding 2 miles.
What cloud type can be associated with tornadoes when it develops into a super cell?
A cumulonimbus cloud.
What happens when a tornado starts to form?
The tornado originates from a larger circulation within the parent storm cell called a mesocyclone. This gets constricted by a downdraft within the storm, causing it to tighten, intensify, and extend toward the ground. As the developing vortex extends toward the ground, it draws in air from underneath. However, once it reaches the ground, this is no longer possible, and so pressure at the center drops. This drop in pressure increases wind speed in the vortex as it draws in air from the sides, accelerating it to great speeds. The vortex is now a tornado.
Where does the of a tornado came from?
it forms from a super-cell in a huge cloud.
What type of tornado is worse super cell or non-super cell?
Supercell tornadoes are usually worse. Nearly all F3 and stronger tornadoes form in supercells.
Can a super cell cause a tornado?
Yes. In fact the vast majority of tornadoes are produced by supercells.
How a tornado evolves from a thunderstorm?
well the thunderstorm builds to a super cell which is a sever thunderstorm then all it needs is a rotation
Is there a twister named super cell?
No. A supercell is a type of powerful, rotating thunderstorm. It is the type of storm most likely to produce a tornado.
What are 5 key vocabulary words and definitions used to describe tornadoes?
Wall Cloud, Super Cell, Touch down, Tornado Alley, Tornado Warning, Severe are some word you could use ? Just tryin to help !
Are the twister sister tornadoes real?
Yes, a super cell thunderstorm can produce more than one tornado simultaneously. Although it's a very rare occurrence. In addition, in rare instances, a tornado may have two or more funnels.
What are signs of a tornado coming?
first look on the weather channel if they are talking about super cell thunderstorms there is a high possibility for a tornado.... go look outside if the sky is dark and a greenish color than that's another sign. hope i helped!!
What is super cell?
cell super computer
What type of storm is characterized by a circulation cell?
wrong, the real answer to this question is tornado
What is cell super computer?
cell super computer
What characteristics of a super cell would contribute to a tornado formation?
The main characteristic is the rotation updraft or mesocyclone, which provides the spin that becomes a tornado. Another factor is that, in a supercell, the downdraft is separated from the updraft that powers the storm, and so does not interfere with it like it would in an ordinary thunderstorm.
