- Computer modeling. Computer models are used in making weather forecasts over the course of hours and days. Such models cannot predict where individual tornadoes will occur, but can indicate when a general region might be at risk.
- Doppler weather radar. Doppler radar sends beams of radio waves into a thunderstorm and can gather data on rainfall rates and wind speed. Such radar can detect the rotation in a thunderstorm that can lead to the formation of a tornado and can sometimes pick up the signature of the tornado itself.
- Eyewitness reports. Warning centers also receive calls from people out in the field. Much of this comes from trained weather spotters, who know how to recognize hints that a storm may produce a tornado. Reports can also come in from law enforcement and the general public.
