No. An anticyclone is a large scale high pressure system that generally brings calm, sunny weather. Anticyclones rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern.

Tornadoes have more in common with cyclones than they do with anticyclones.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. In weather terms it is a small scale vortex.

Tornadoes generate intense low pressure and, about 99% of the time the rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. In this sense they are similar to cyclones, though on a much smaller scale.
