The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado.
The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.
The air pressure drops sharply in a tornado
A tornado has low pressure in it, but it is not considered a low pressure system as it is too small to be its own weather system. The low pressure in a tornado causes the surrounding air to rush into it.
A tornado develops when the rotating updraft of a thunderstorm becomes focused on a smaller area. The updraft of the tornado draws air upwards, creating a center of low pressure.
That is a difficult question to answer. It is true that the lowest pressure recorded in a tornado (688 millibars) was much lower than the record low pressure for a tropical cyclone (870). But very few measurements have been taken from inside a tornado, so it is unknown what pressures would be normal.
No. A tornado produces the steepest pressure gradient of any weather phenomenon. An intense mid-latitude cyclone might have an overall pressure deficit comparable to a weak tornado, but that pressure gradient is spread out over several hundred miles. A tornado produces at least that much of a pressure drop over only a few hundred feet.

The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.
The air pressure inside a tornado is very low.
Yes the pressure drops as the tornado forms and progresses. The tornado's lowest pressure is in the center.
Pressure inside a tornado is very low.
Air in a tornado is rapidly drawn upward. This creates low pressure as more air rushes in to replace it. However this can ever completely fill the pressure deficit until the upward movement stops.
No. Generally the lower the air pressure inside a tornado the faster it rotates.
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.
Air in a tornado, move upward rapidly creating a low pressure at its center. This low pressure essentially sucks air in.
There is no definite air pressure for a tornado, but tit is believed that the pressure deficit (i.e. how much less pressure is in the tornado than in the surroundings) in a weak tornado is at least 10 millibars, with greater pressure deficits being found in stronger tornadoes.
The air pressure inside a tornado is very low. This allows the tornado to draw air inward at high speeds.
