Tornadoes occur at night the same way they do during the day.
First, a condition called wind shear, in which the speed or direction of the wind changes with altitude. If the shear is strong enough it can essentially tilt a thunderstorm, this separates the updraft and downdraft of the thunderstorm, preventing them from interfering with one another. This allows the storm to become stronger and last longer.
Additionally, if the wind shear is strong enough it can start the air rolling in what is called horizontal vorticity. This horizontal vorticity can then be turned vertical by a thunderstorm's updraft. When this happens, the thunderstorm may start rotating. The rotation is especially strong in an updraft called a mesocyclone. If the storm intensifies rapidly enough, a relatively warm downdraft called a rear-flank downdraft or RFD can wrap around the bottom part of the mesocyclone. This can then tighten and intensify its rotation and bring it down to the ground to produce a tornado.

When hail falls does it mean a tornado could come?
It can. Hail often does come before a tornado, but most storms that produce hail do not produce tornadoes.
What percentages of tornado's occur at night?
On average, about 60-70% of tornadoes occur at night. This is because tornadoes can form at any time of day or night, but the atmospheric conditions that are conducive to tornado development may be more prevalent during the overnight hours.
What direction did the Missouri tornado come from?
The direction of a tornado can vary, but tornadoes in Missouri often come from the southwest or west due to the prevailing weather patterns in the region.
How does a tornado come out of nowhere?
A tornado's formation can be sudden and unexpected because it requires the right combination of atmospheric conditions, such as warm, moist air meeting cooler, drier air. When these conditions come together, it can create a rotating column of air that can quickly develop into a tornado. This is why tornadoes may appear to come out of nowhere.
Can tornadoes come together to form a big tornado?
Yes. It is possible for tornadoes to merge and form a larger tornado, though this is a fairly rare occurrence.

When hail falls does it mean a tornado could come?
It can. Hail often does come before a tornado, but most storms that produce hail do not produce tornadoes.
