Doppler Radar can detect the signature of a tornado's rotation in a storm, but we usually need an eyewitness report to confirm that the tornado has actually touched down. Dual polarized Doppler radar can detect debris from a tornado, but that requires that the tornado is fairly strong and that there is enough debris for the tornado to pick up.
