Scientists still do not fully understand how tornadoes dissipate. But it is believed that cold air from the downdraft (e.g. rain producing) portion of either the tornado's parent storm or a nearby storm undercuts the rotating updraft that is the driving force of the tornado. This cuts off the supply of warm, moist air that fuels the updraft, causing it to weaken or dissipate.
