What must happen in the atmosphere for a thunderstorm to become a tornado?
A thunderstorm does not become a tornad; it produces one. To start off, in most cases the storm must encounter strong wind shear, or a shift in wind speed and direction with altitude. This sets the storm rotating, turning it into a supercell. If the storm develops in the right manner, a downdraft may descend from the rare portion of the storm and wrap around the mesocyclone, or rotating updraft of the storm. This causes the mesocyclone or a portion of it to tighten and intensify, forming a tornado.

What happens before a tornado occurs?

Wind shear is also crucial, as it creates the rotation necessary for a tornado to form. Storm systems or supercell thunderstorms often provide the ideal conditions for tornado development.
