Contrary to what some might say, there is no particular "tornado sky" that will give you a warning. Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms and so will be accompanied by thick, often dark clouds. Heavy rain is often present The clouds often appear gray, as they usually do during a thunderstorm, but may become black, green, yellow, or blue. Such colors often indicate that a thunderstorm may be severe but do not necessarily mean there is potential for tornadoes. One sign that is a potential warning is a wall cloud, which is a rotating mass of cloud that hangs down from the base of the thunderstorm. This however is not always present or may be hidden by rain.
