What are the signs a tornado might be approaching?
You either see it.... OR right before it develops, the air is very still, the sky might be a strange color. Also there will be a visible funnel cloud beginning to come down to touch the land and then the wind will pick up. Other signs include a lowering of the cloud base, rotation in the clouds, and a hole in the clouds in the vicinity of the rotation. If you are looking at the radar image a hook shape, usually on the southern or western flank, (in and individual thunderstorm, not the shape of the large-scale system) can be a strong indicator of a possible tornado.
