Without a funnel, a tornado will likely appear as a whirling cloud of dust or debris. If there is not enough of that present, then the tornado will be invisible.

What is a funnels?

A funnel cloud is a tapered, rotating cloud created by convection and conflicting wind directions. If it reaches the surface, it becomes a tornado, or a waterspout, but only a small minority of funnel clouds become tornadoes. Funnel clouds can also indicate weak tornadoes that don't have a visible portion reaching the ground. A destructive tornado could look like a funnel cloud if the air is unusually dry, preventing the formation of cloud material all the way to the ground. In this case, spinning debris would be the only indication of destructive winds. ***************************************************************** A funnel cloud is a tornado that's either in the air so you can see in it or it's trying to make a tornado or water spout.

How can a scientist predict when a tornado is going to happen?

In the first stage of tornado prediction scientists look for general weather conditions. The conditions include wind shear and systems that can form strong thunderstorms such as a cold front, dry line, or low pressure system.If such general conditions are in place a tornado watchis issued.The second stage scientists look for conditions that may soon produce a tornado, or if a tornado is forming. These include using Doppler radar to look for strong rotation in thunderstorms or possibly even the signature of an actual tornado. Storm spotter are also sent out to report strong rotation, funnel clouds, and tornadoes. If strong enough rotation is detected or if an actual tornado or funnel cloud is spotted or detected a tornado warning is issued.


How do tornado clouds look like?

Tornado clouds typically appear dark and ominous, often taking on a greenish hue due to the light scattering through the storm. As a tornado forms, the cloud may exhibit a rotating, funnel-shaped appearance as it descends from the parent thunderstorm. The distinctive shape and dynamic movement of these clouds serve as visual indicators of severe weather conditions.
