In the first stage of tornado prediction scientists look for general weather conditions. The conditions include wind shear and systems that can form strong thunderstorms such as a cold front, dry line, or low pressure system.
If such general conditions are in place a tornado watchis issued.
The second stage scientists look for conditions that may soon produce a tornado, or if a tornado is forming. These include using Doppler radar to look for strong rotation in thunderstorms or possibly even the signature of an actual tornado. Storm spotter are also sent out to report strong rotation, funnel clouds, and tornadoes. If strong enough rotation is detected or if an actual tornado or funnel cloud is spotted or detected a tornado warning is issued.

Is a tornado coming to Arizona Apache Junction?
It is impossible to predict if a specific location is going to be hit by a tornado unless that tornado is already close to striking. That said, while tornadoes do occur in Arizona, they are rare so you probably don't have much to worry about.
Is there going to be a tornado in 2012 in Chicago?
It is impossible to make long term predictions of whether or when a specific location will have a tornado. When we do determine that a town or city is going to be hit, the time to the tornado's impact is measured in minutes.
Is a tornado going to happen?
Somewehere, eventually, yes. In the United States alone, even in the quietest time of the year we generally don't go more than a few weeks without a tornado touching down somewhere. However, we cannot predicte exactly where or when the next one will occur.
Can you predict whether a tornado is forming or is going to hit if so how?
Only to a limited degree. Doppler radar can detect a mesocyclone, which is a rotating updraft in a thunderstorm that can produce a tornado. Radar can also detect the much smaller signature of a possible tornado, though this can be difficult, especially for weak and short lived tornadoes. Even if radar detects such a signature, it cannot tell if it is on the ground of if it will touch down, but it is enough to prompt a tornado warning. By detecting where a mesocyclone or possible tornado is and knowing the direction of the storm, it is possible to see what areas might be in damager. Even with this technology some tornadoes strike without warning, and there are many false alarms.
Is there going to be a tornado in Naperville Illinois tonight June 12 2013?
It is impossible to predict a tornado so far in advance. While there is a risk of tornadoes across northern and central Illinois, we will not know where specific tornadoes will occur until they occur. Given the risk, though you should stay alert not just for tornadoes, but for destructive thunderstorm wind, hail, and lightning. Stay indoors if at all possible.
When is Arizona going to have or next tornado?
It is impossible to predict when the next tornado will happen anywhere.
When is there going to be a tornado in lebonon?
It is impossible to predict when a or where a tornado will strike unless it is already developing. Even then it is uncertain.
Why do so many scientists predict the world is going to end?
it might actually happen scientist say a large meteor is headed towards earth
When is a tornado going to happen in quantico va 2014?
It is impossible to predict when a tornado will hit any location unless it is minutes away from happening. Based on simple statistical probability, Quantico will probably not be hit at all. In any given year most towns will not be hit by a tornado.
Can you predict if a tornado is about to happen?
Not exactly. If a tornado is imminent then Doppler radar will probably detect the rotation wand a warning will be issued that a tornado may soon form. Often, especially with areas of major damage, the tornado has already been on the ground for at least a few minutes and moves into the area. Meteorologists can often detect the signature of a tornado on radar will announce where the tornado is and where it is going.
Is there going to be a tornado in fallriver today?
Whether any specific location will be hit by a tornado on any given day is impossible to predict.
What is going to happen december 21?

Predict. Foretell. Forecast. Prognosticate. Prophesy.
What is to draw a conclushion?

Do flashbacks always predict what might happen in the story?
Flashbacks show details from the past. Foreshadowing is when something is hinted at and it can help you predict what's going to happen.
When will the next tornado warning be?
Such a thing is impossible to predict. A tornado warning itself is a prediction that the threat of a tornado is imminent. As soon as signs indicate that a tornado warning is warranted, then one is issued. So there is no way of nowing when a tornado warning is going to be issued until it actually happens.
