Best Answer

Tornadoes often develop along cold fronts, but are not a direct product of them. Rather, tornadoes form from the thunderstorms that develop along some cold fronts. Dry lines have even more potential to produce tornadic storms, but are less common in most regions. In rarer cases, tornadoes may be associated with warm fronts. On spot that is conducive to the formation of tornadoes is Larko's triangle, an area between a warm front and cold front near where they meet at the center of a low pressure system.
