There are a few ways. Most strong tornadoes from from the rotating updraft or mesocyclone of a supercell, which tightens and intensifies under certain conditions to form a tornado. Weaker landspout tornadoes form when low-level rotation gets caught in the updraft of a developing thunderstorm, which causes it to stretch upward, tighten, and intensify. Still others spin up along the leading edge of a squall line.
