Tornadoes are often, but not always, preceded by heavy downpours, which may or may not stop before the tornado strikes.
Tornadoes are usually accompanied by heavy rain and are often accompanied by hail, which can sometimes be large.
It depends. Most tornadoes are preceded by very heavy rain, but they sometimes form in low-precipitation (LP) storms, which produce little or no rain.
Yes it is. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, and a downdraft caused by rain is one of the things needed to produce the tornado.
During a tornado, rain can come down very heavily and quickly, leading to what is commonly referred to as a "tornado downpour." These downpours can be intense and may contain large droplets, along with possible hail and strong winds. The amount and force of the rain can contribute to flooding and overall hazardous conditions during a tornado.

During the water cycle, approximately 78 of the water that evaporates falls back as rain.
The amount of rain that falls in a place during a particular period is called precipitation. This can include rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
No. Precipitation is water that falls from the sky in some form, such as rain, snow, or hail. A tornado is basically a violent wind storm. While tornadoes are usually accompanied by rain and often by hail, this precipitation is not directly related to the tornado itself.
Precipitation
Most storms that produce tornadoes also produce rain. However most tornadoes occur in a rain-free area of the storm. This is a good thing as it makes them easier to see. There are also rain-wrapped tornadoes where rain is falling in the part of the storm with the tornado. Rain wrapped tornadoes are especially dangerous because they are difficult, even impossible to see.Strong, even damaging winds during a thunderstorm, raining or not, do not necessarily mean that there is a tornado though. There are a number of other phenomena than can produce winds equivalent to those of a tornado.
The Joplin, Missouri tornado of 2011 was what is known as a rain-wrapped tornado, meaning it was surrounded by heavy rain. This rain obscured the tornado from view and may have contributed to the extremely high death toll.
Yes. If a tornado is rain wrapped rain can be drawn into the circulation.
