Sometimes they are. Tornadoes often form under the rain free section of a thunderstorm and can be seen from several miles away. However, haze, rain, and occasionally dust may obstruct your view of a tornado. Some tornadoes are shrouded in rain and can be hidden from view even at relatively short distances that a tornado can cover in seconds. Other times a tornado may have little or no condensation funnel, which can essentially render it invisible.
