Tornadoes are least likely to form in association with a warm front, though it can happen.
Tornadoes occur least often in the winter.
Tornadoes don't occur in Antarctica or in areas of extreme desert.
There is no part of Texas that does not get tornadoes. However, they are least common in the southern and western parts of the state.
Yes. Tornadoes can occur at any time of the day or night. They are most common in the later afternoon and least common in the early morning.

No, the majority of tornadoes in the US are not classified as F5. F5 tornadoes are extremely rare and account for only a small percentage of all tornadoes. Most tornadoes in the US are classified as weaker tornadoes, such as F0 to F2.
Tornadoes are least common in the western part of the state, near the line with New Mexico.
Tornadoes are least like to spawn in very cold or dry climates, where the atmosphere rarely has enough energy to produce the powerful thunderstorms needed for tornadoes.
There are not fronts in a tornado. However, the thunderstorms that produce tornadoes are most often found ahead of clod fronts. Dry lines are also common producers of tornadoes. Warm fronts and stationary fronts less often. Some tornadoes form from storms not associated with any fronts.
A tornado is not necessarily associated with a front at all. Tornadoes will often form along or ahead of a cold front or dry line, and can occasionally form along a wamr front. One common area where tornadoes may form is Larko's triangle, which is near the center of a low pressure system between the cold front, the warm front, and the first isobar. Tornadoes will often form in the outerbands of a tropical cyclone, where no fronts are involved.
