How dark does a cloud get when a tornado is coming?

The cloud may appear dark due to the rotation and instability associated with the tornado, but the darkness is more likely from the debris and dirt that the tornado has picked up. The amount of darkness and visibility can vary depending on the time of day, weather conditions, and location.


How do you know when a tornado is near?

Why are some tornadoes real dark and some light in color?

There are two factors: lighting and soil. How the light hits a tornado is important. If a tornado is lit from behind, (relative to the viewer) it will appear dark, if it is lit from the front it will often appear light. The same tornado may appear light or dark depending on where it is relative to your position. The link below shows two pictures taken of the same tornado at about the same time, but from opposite sides. The soil can also affect the color of a tornado. Some tornadoes lift up large amounts of sand, dust, and dirt. When this happens dark soil will give a tornado a dark appearance and light soil will give it a light appearance.


How do metorologists know if a tornado is coming?

Meteorologists can detect the signature of a tornado or the rotation that may lead to one using Doppler Radar, which can measure wind speeds at a distance. They also receive reports from weather spotters who report tornadoes and other severe weather as they occur.

What cause the tornado funnel cold and dark?

Air that is pulled into a tornado undergoes a rapid drop in pressure which causes a drop in temperature. This temperature drop triggers the condensation that forms the funnel. The funnel is opaque and so blocks out light coming from behind. Tornadoes may also appear dark from lifting soil into the air.
