Generally speaking, they don't. Most tornadoes last less than 5 minutes. In simple terms, most tornadoes form as a result of complex interactions within a kind of thunderstorm called a supercell. According to Thomas P. Grazulis, a leading expert on tornadoes,here are multiple stages in the process that leads up to, produces, and dissipates tornadoes that often occur in a cyclic fashion. In the few tornadowa that are long-lived, the parent storm enters the tornado-producing stages as a "steady state" rather than as a simple part of a cycle, thus sustaining the tornado.

How are tornadoes paths projected?
Once a tornado is on the ground meteorologists look at where the tornado is and the direction it is traveling, which allows some prediction of its path. However scientists still do not fully understand how tornadoes change direction, so that cannot be predicted well aside from the tendency of strong tornadoes to make left turns.

Though there has been other rumers that tornadoes have struck even when it was cooler. No one really know,s for sure. The NWS shows ground temps as low as 36; the air above the ground can be much more humid and warmer. So that will influence the formation more than the actual ground temp.
Does the tornado form after the hail?
Not necessarily. Tornadoes typically form in the rear portion of a supercell thunderstorm, while hail is often found further forward. So in many cases and area will get hail before the tornado moves through. But that that does not mean the tornado has not formed yet.
How can there be so many tornadoes at one time?
Tornadoes typically develop from a powerful type of thunderstorm called a supercell. In a major tornado outbreak multiple supercells develop, usually ahead of a front, and thus form a rough line or a broad cluster that sweeps across a large region. The storms themselves are large and, from a human perspective, far apart, so while many tornadoes may be on the ground, they will typically be a few tens of miles apart. One thing to note is that the number of tornadoes listed for an outbreak probably did not occur all at the same time. In most cases those tornado occurred over the course of a day or even several days. Sometimes news media inflate numbers by stating the number of tornado reports, which will be higher than the number of tornadoes as some tornadoes, especially long lived ones, are reported more than once.
Do tornadoes usually hit earth or ground?
Tornadoes typically hit the ground, causing damage to structures and landscapes in their path. By definition, a tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground.

By definition a tornado must be in contact with both the ground and the cloud base. So, in that sense, yeas.
