Not exactly. A collision between a warm moist air, usually from the east, with cool, dry air, usually from the west, often results in thunderstorms. Other factors are needed for these storms to produce tornadoes.

What two air masses cause tornadoes?

Tornadoes most often form where cool dry air and warm moist air collide. This does not directly produce tornadoes but rather produces the thunderstorms that, given a few other factors, can sometimes produce tornadoes. Additionally, such a meeting of air masses is not absolutely necessary for tornadoes to form.

What causes tornadoes in the eastern part of Colorado?

Tornadoes in eastern Colorado are produced by the same mechanisms that cause tornadoes in neighboring Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas. Warm, moist air from the Gulfor of Mexico meets cool air from Canada, dry air from the Rockies, or a combination of the two. If the moist air mass is unstable enough, this can result in strong thunderstorms developing. Wind shear can then set these storms rotating, giving them the potential to produce tornadoes.


Do moving plates cause tornadoes?
