No. That would be a severe thunderstorm watch. A severe thunderstorm warning means that a severe thunderstorm ha already formed.

What color does the sky change when there is a tornado warning?

There is no particular sky color that indicates a tornado is coming. It is often reported that the clouds look green before and during tornado. But this does not necessarily indicate a tornado, nor is it necessary for a tornado to form. The clouds in a tornadic storm may also appear gray or black.


Are tornadoes always the rear of a storm?

No, tornadoes can form in different parts of a storm system, including the rear but also in the front or along the edges. Tornadoes are typically associated with severe thunderstorms and can develop wherever the conditions are right for their formation within the storm.


Why isn't it raining or storming during a tornado warning?

There are three possibilities. First is the tornadic thunderstorm may not have reached you yet, as tornado warnings are sometimes elongated along the storm's projected path. Second, you may be under a low precipitation supercell, which is a potentially tornadic storm that produces little or no rain. Third, you may be under the updraft part of the thunderstorm, which is often rain free and sometimes relatively calm. This is also the part of the storm where a tornado is most likely to form.


Why does hail and tornadoes usually occur at the same time?

Hail forms in the strong updraft of a severe thunderstorm, which keeps the hailstones airborne as they form. Tornadoes require a specific type of severe thunderstorm called a supercell. The tornado itself forms from a strong, rotating updraft which can also generate hail.


Funnel shaped storm cloud formations are called what?

Funnel-shaped storm cloud formations are called "tornadoes" when they reach the ground. They typically form from severe thunderstorms and are characterized by a rotating column of air that extends from a cumulonimbus cloud. If they remain aloft and do not touch the ground, they are referred to as "wall clouds."

What do severe thunderstorms do?

Severe Thunderstorms can form hail, which is like ice balls. Hail can really hurt if it hits you on the head! Hail can be a large as 6" in diameter. Almost the size of a volleyball. Of course, lightning and thunder. Remember, lightning can strike in the same place more than once. When there is a Severe Thunderstorm Warning in the area, if you are outside, get inside. If the storm produces hail, it can really hurt if it hits you. Tornadoes can also drop out of Severe Thunderstorms, if the storm has rotation within it. If there is a Tornado Warning in the area, get inside and stay inside. Get into the basement, however, the most important thing is to get below ground level. Therefore, if you outside, you'll need to get into a ditch.
