Most tornadoes form in thunderstorms. When the cT and cP air masses meet they create instability in the atmosphere. As the cT air mass start to go up the cP air mass (basically the air) within the updraft tilts the circulating air from horizontal to vertical. The area of the rotation can be 2-6 miles wide and can extend through out the storm.
