Best Answer

The visible funnel of a tornado is the result of moist air being pulled into the vortex. The low pressure in the tornado causes a temperature drop, which in turn causes the moisture to condense. Temperature continues to drop as the air rises in the tornado, causing more moisture to condense at higher altitudes..
