It varies, but it will always occur during a thunderstorm. If that area of the storm is not obscured by rain or the dark of night you will usually see a rotating block of clouds lowered from the main cloud base called a wall cloud. Near this a downdraft will blast a hole in the clouds. Not long afterwards there will likely be strong winds. Then the funnel begins to lower from the wall cloud and a swirl of dust or debris may appear on the ground below it as the tornado connects to the ground.
