The Tri-state tornado was spawned by a supercell, a type of powerful rotating thunderstorm with a strong updraft. This supercell was one of several that formed in association with a low pressure system that tracked across a portion of the United States. The associated fronts created an upward nudge in an unstable air mass, triggering the storms. Why the Tri-State tornado was on the ground for so long is uncertain.
