The "Four Winds" is not a scientific concept; it comes from Greek mythology and refers to winds coming from the four different cardinal directions. The winds that go into forming a thunderstorm are localized and based on the relative locations of air masses with different temperatures and different humidities.

Can a tornado form without a thunderstorm?
No, a tornado cannot form without a thunderstorm. A tornado needs the crossing winds of two air masses to provide rotation in order for a tornado to form. Tornadoes do not form from convection thunderstorms, but only from air mass thunderstorms.
What is a Small intense weather system that produces strong winds?
A thunderstorm, most likely a severe thunderstorm.
What is a weather system that produces large winds hail heavy rain lightning and found?

No, a tornado cannot form without a thunderstorm. A tornado needs the crossing winds of two air masses to provide rotation in order for a tornado to form. Tornadoes do not form from convection thunderstorms, but only from air mass thunderstorms.
What is the wind speed for a thunderstorm?
The wind speed for a thunderstorm varies by the intensity of the storm. Winds in excess of 58 mph will classify the thunderstorm as a severe one.
Do rain hail and strong winds produce tornadoes?
No. Tornadoes form from complex interactions of air currents in and around a severe thunderstorm. Because tornadoes form from such storms they will generally be accompanied by rain, hail, and strong winds, but one does not cause the other.
Does downbursts strong winds that rise into a thunder storm cloud?
No. A downburst produces winds that violently descend from a thunderstorm.
Can 15-20mph prvent a tornado?
If you mean can a 15-20 mph wind then no. In fact there is strong evidence to support that strong winds from a specific portion of a thunderstorm are what help form a tornado. These winds can exceed 100 mph.
Can you give me a sentence using the word thunderstorm?
Stop trimming the tree; there's been a thunderstorm warning issued. The thunderstorm may bring strong winds and a lot of rain.
What is a weather system that produces heavy winds and rain lighting and thunder?
The answer would be a thunderstorm.
How long does it take for a hurricane to form from a thunderstorm?
A hurricane does not form from a single thunderstorm. A tornado does. Often a thunderstorm has upper-level rotation for at least half an hour or more before producing a tornado, however, some storms develop and become tornadic in less than 15 minutes.Hurricanes form from large, usually disorganized clusters of storms. It may take days for these clusters of storms to organize intro a tropical depression (tropical cyclone with winds under 39 mph). It will usually be several more days before such a system reaches hurricane strength (winds of at least 74 mph).
Could you form a sentence with thunderstorm?
Yeah... The thunderstorm caused the power to go out. The thunderstorm startled the dog. The weatherman warned that a thunderstorm was on its way.
What does not form a thunderstorm?
Humans.
Why do thunderstorms produce damaging winds?
The primary cause of damaging winds in a thunderstorm is something called a downburst. This occurs when a mass of air within a thunderstorm cools and starts to fall. It hits the ground at great speed and spreads out horizontally, producing damaging winds that in some cases can be well over 100 mph.
Does a column of air lift up on one end by upward winds and presses down on the other end by downward winds describes a thunderstorm?
True.
