The sky can be a number of colors before and during a tornado. While gray is the most common green and yellow are not uncommon. This a result of two factors. First, tornadoes typically form in the late afternoon or early evening and so it is not uncommon for them to form at or near sunset, this allows for unusual lightning conditions. Second, tornadoes form during severe thunderstorms that have powerful updrafts and hold large amounts of moisture in the upper levels. This results in unusual refractions of color when the sun is low in the sky.
