Often, but not always, tornadoes form when three different airs masses collide. The first, and probably most important, is a warm, moist air mass from the Gulf of Mexico. Next comes a cool air mass from northern Canada, and finally a dry air mass from the Rockies. When the collision occurs the warm, moist air mass essentially becomes fuel for very strong thunderstorms. Given a few other factors these storms can produce tornadoes.
