They both are formed in strong thunderstorms.
Both hail and tornadoes are forms of severe weather that originate from thunderstorms, most often an especially powerful class of thunderstorms called supercells. It is fairly common for hail to accompany tornadoes. If any thunderstorm produces hail at least 1 inch in diameter, winds of 58 mph or greater, or a tornado it is classified as severe.

When tornadoes appear does hail come too?
Tornadoes are very often accompanied by hail, but not always. In many cases that hail comes before the tornado.
Are there tornadoes during snow storms?
No. Although many tornadoes are accompanied by rain and hail.
Can sleet turn into a tornado?
No. Sleet and tornadoes are associated with completely different weather patterns. Tornadoes are often accompanied by hail, but the hail itself does not become or cause the tornado.
What is the precipitation in a tornado?
Tornadoes themselves do not produce precipitation, but the storms that produce them usually do. Tornadoes are often accompanied by rain and hail.
Is precipitation associated with the type of tornadoes?
Because tornadoes occur during strong thunderstorms they are usually accompanied by rain and often by hail.
How come A MDT Risk for severe storms is lower for tornadoes than wind or hail?
That is most likely because tornadoes are less common than severe wind or hail, but more dangerous.
How are hail and tornadoes formed in common?
Tornadoes and hail are both a product of severe thunderstorms. The most powerful thunderstorms on Earth are supercells, which are characterized by strong, rotating updraft. These thunderstorms are the ones most capable of producing significant hail and tornadoes. The strong updraft keeps hailstones in the air as they form, while the rotation in the updraft is what leads to the formation of tornadoes.
Is hail often found in Tornadoes?
No, hail doesn't fall in tornadoes, but it often falls near them.
When tornadoes appear does hail come too?
Tornadoes are very often accompanied by hail, but not always. In many cases that hail comes before the tornado.
Why does it hail outside when there is no tornado outside?
Hail does not depend on a tornado. Hail forms in thunderstorms with strong updrafts and turbulence. Many of these storms are not even capable of producing tornadoes as they have a strong enough updraft, but not enough rotation for tornadoes.
What is the relationship between hail and tornadoes?
Hail is created by an updraft. Tornadoes need updrafts to develop. So the relationship is they both need updrafts. Hail can also be a warning sign of a tornado.
Why Does Hail never promote a High Risk For severe storms on its own?
In the U.S. hail rarely results in fatalities, while fatalities due to wind and tornadoes are more common. So the SPC probably regards wind and tornadoes as a more serious threat.
What precipitation is associated with tornadoes?
Tornadoes are usually accompanied by rain and commonly by hail.
What type of front would bring hail and tornadoes in a area?
Hail and tornadoes would most likely be associated with a cold front or dry line.
Are there tornadoes during snow storms?
No. Although many tornadoes are accompanied by rain and hail.
What precipitation is in tornadoes?
Tornadoes are usually preceded or shrouded by heavy rain and often by hail.
What are tornadoes usually preceded by?
Tornadoes are usually preceded by heavy rain and often by hail.
