The sun heats the surface of the Earth throughout the day, which in turn heats the lowest part of the atmosphere. The surface starts too cool down around sunset. As a result the lower atmosphere is generally warmest and thus the most unstable in the late afternoon. An unstable atmosphere is necessary for the formation of the strong thunderstorms that produce tornadoes.
