Is true when the national weather service issues a tornado watch a tornado has been spotted?

No, if a tornado is spotted a tornado warning is issued .A tornado watch is not as bad as a tornado warning is. The watch just means that it is the type of weather that could POSSIBLY produce a tornado. It doesnt even mean that there is rotation or high winds. A warning is something to worry about though.


Which type of scientist would most likely predict a tornado?

Since tornadoes are a form of weather, they would be predicted by a meteorologist.


What are things that tell you that there's going to be a tornado?

Nothing is certain, but a major sign is rotation in the clouds during a thunderstorm with a lowering of the cloud base. The stronger the rotation, the more likely there will be a tornado. When a storm is approaching the most important thing to do is listen to your local radio or television station, or to whatever device carries current, local weather reports. Meteorologists are able to tell when a storm is likely to become violent, and whether it is the type of storm that can spawn a tornado. Without the technology used by the weather service, it is not possible to tell with any certainty whether a tornado is possible in any particular storm.
