What else can I help you with?
Can there be tropical tornado storms?
Depends on what you mean. Tornadoes can occur in the tropics, and tropical storms can produce tornadoes, but a tropical storm and a tornado are two very different things.
What type of storms can a hurricane produce?
a tornado storm can be formed from a hurricane
When hail falls does it mean a tornado could come?
It can. Hail often does come before a tornado, but most storms that produce hail do not produce tornadoes.
What precipitation does a tornado cause?
Tornadoes themselves do not cause any precipitation. The storms that produce tornadoes do. These storms produce heavy rain and often produce hail, some of which can be quite large.
Where does a tornado gets its strength to travel so far?
Tornadoes get their strength from the storms that produce them. The storms in turn get their energy from instability in the air.
How much rain comes from a tornado?
A tornado itself does not produce rain, but it can accompany a tornado. The storms the produce tornadoes, called supercells typically produce very heavy rain, often enough to prompt flash flood warnings. This rain may stop before the tornado comes, or the tornado may be rain wrapped. Some storms however, called LP (low-precipitation) supercells produce little to no rain at all, but can still produce tornadoes.
Why did tornado occur in Asia?
Thunderstorms began rotating due to interactions with wind shear. The rotation in at least one of these storms tightened and intensified to produce a tornado.
Does every severe thunder storm cause a tornado?
No, only a fairly small percentage of severe storms produce torndoes.
What is a violent thunderstorm that can lead into dangerous tornado?
This is known as a supercell thunderstorm. Supercells are long-lived and rotating storms that have the potential to produce tornadoes due to the presence of a persistent rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. These storms are capable of producing severe weather and are closely monitored by meteorologists for their potential to produce tornadoes.
Is it hot outside after a tornado?
Generally not. The storms that produce tornado form more often along cold fronts than warm fronts. So more often the weather is hot before a tornado and cooler afterwards.
Where was tornado Douglas?
There was never a "tornado Douglas" as tornadoes are not given official names as hurricanes are.There were two storms called Hurricane Douglas. Both storms remianed over the open waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Why aren't tornado's a serious threat in New Jersey?
Because New Jersey is in the northeastern U.S. where the air is generally cooler and more stable than in Tornado Alley so there is less potential for the powerful storms that can produce tornadoes. Additionally, the frontal systems that produce many tornadic storms generally weaken by the time the reach the eastern U.S.
