What else can I help you with?
What are tornadoes usually preceded by?
Tornadoes are usually preceded by heavy rain and often by hail.
Can tornado be accompanied by damaging hail?
Yes. Tornadoes a very often accompanied by large hail.
When tornadoes form why is sky green?
The storms that produce tornadoes often produce hail as well. The presence of hail causes light to be refracted in an unusual way.
Does a tornado have hail?
Tornadoes are often but not always accompanied by hail. However, the hail is not a result of the tornado itself but the storm that produces the tornado.
Do tornadoes contain rain and hail?
A blizzard means snow coming down at a rapid rate accompanied by high wind. Hail would not be a normal feature of a blizzard. The phrase 'a blizzard of hail' does not refer to an actual blizzard, but instead a hailstorm accompanied by high wind.
Is precipitation associated with tornadoes?
Yes. Tornadoes occur during thunderstorms that produce rain and often hail.
What type of front would likely bring hail and possible tornadoes into an area?
Hail and tornadoes are most often associated with cold fronts, but can occur with dry lines or, lest often, warm fronts.
What front would likely bring hail and possible tornadoes into an area?
Tornadoes, hail and other forms of severe weather most often form ahead of cold fronts.
When hail falls does it mean a tornado could come?
It can. Hail often does come before a tornado, but most storms that produce hail do not produce tornadoes.
When tornadoes appear does hail come too?
Yes, tornadoes and hail can occur together during severe thunderstorms. The strong updrafts and turbulent conditions within a thunderstorm can create hail, while the rotating updraft required for a tornado can also contribute to hail formation.
Does the tornado form after the hail?
Not necessarily. Tornadoes typically form in the rear portion of a supercell thunderstorm, while hail is often found further forward. So in many cases and area will get hail before the tornado moves through. But that that does not mean the tornado has not formed yet.
Why does hail and rain occur before a tornado is going to hit?
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form and they usually form in the updraft portion of a supercell, which is in near the back of the storm. The downdraft portion, where most of the rain and hail can be found is in the from half.
