Best Answer

A twister, or tornado, forms when warm, moist air near the ground meets cooler, drier air above it. This creates instability in the atmosphere, leading to a rotating column of air that descends from a thunderstorm cloud. When this rotating column touches the ground, it becomes a tornado.
