Sometimes. Tornadoes often form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorms and the rain, wind, and hail often let up a few minutes before the tornado arrives. Some people have noted an eerie silence. In other cases a tornado may be shrouded in rain, and heavy rain continues even as the tornado strikes. Such rain-wrapped tornadoes are particularly dangerous because you can't see them coming.
