It is not know for certain. One thing that is known is that the pressure is low inside a tornado. The intensity of a tornado is largely determined by the pressure deficit, meaning how much lower the pressure inside the tornado than its surroundings. It is estimated, that a strong tornado will have a pressure deficit of at least 25 millibars, so that if the pressure surrounding the tornado is 950 millibars, the core pressure will be 925 millibars. A violent tornado may have a pressure deficit of over 100 millibars.
The barometric pressure before a tornado will generally be lower than average, as tornadoes, like other forms of stormy weather, are associated with low-pressure systems. The tornado itself produces a sharp drop in pressure, which like starts a few miles from the funnel. We cannot give specific pressure values though, as that pressure will vary depending on elevation and from one storm to the next.
Very low. The exact reading will differ significantly depending on how strong the tornado is---but it's always a lot lower air pressure inside than outside of the tornado.
Air pressure drops sharply inside a tornado.
The air pressure in a tornado is quite low. In a strong tornado, the pressure may be as much as 50-100 millibars lower than the surrounding environment.
When a Hurricane, Tornado or Thunderstorm, approaches, the barometric pressure falls but I would not ascribe the adjective "drastic" to this.
Standard Barometric Pressure is: 29.92 in Hg, 760 torr, 101.325 kPa, 14.696 PSI, or 1 atm.
Barometric pressure measures the weight of the air.
Low and high pressure systems. Obviously if you have a Low pressure system the barometric pressure will get low. High pressure causes the barometric pressure to rise.
When the barometric pressure rises it means calm fair weather is coming or is already occurring. When the barometric pressure falls it means foul weather is on the way such as rain and storms and clouds.
Barometric pressure goes down in a tornado.
The center of a tornado has very low barometric pressure and may be either calm or violent depending on the tornado.

Standard Barometric Pressure is: 29.92 in Hg, 760 torr, 101.325 kPa, 14.696 PSI, or 1 atm.
A tornado creates an area of low barometric pressure. Air spirals into the tornado and then spirals upward within it. The low pressure in a tornado cools air flowing into it, causing moisture to condense into the characteristic funnel. In many cases, though not all, the condensation reaches all the way to the ground.
Barometric pressure measures the weight of the air.

Low and high pressure systems. Obviously if you have a Low pressure system the barometric pressure will get low. High pressure causes the barometric pressure to rise.
Key words for tornadoes include eye, barometric pressure, funnel cloud and forecast. Additional key words include supercell, tornado alley, tornado watch, tornado warning, vortex and counterclockwise.
Tornadoes are influenced by a number of factors withing and surrounding a thunderstorm including various wind current temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure.
When the barometric pressure rises it means calm fair weather is coming or is already occurring. When the barometric pressure falls it means foul weather is on the way such as rain and storms and clouds.
