Tornadoes will most commonly occur in association with a cold front or dry line. Torbnadic storms may occasionally occur in the presence of a warm front as well. Some tornadoes will occur without any fronts. Remember that fronts do not directly cause tornadoes; thunderstorms do.

What type of fronts are associated with tornadoes?
Tornadoes form in areas where both thunderstorms are present and wind speeds and directions change with height. You do not necessarily have to have a front present for a tornado to occur, however frontal boundaries often increase the amount of lifting to help develop thunderstorms and can serve to increase changes in with direction with height, all of which can increase the threat of tornadoes. The main type of front that increases the risk of tornadoes is called a dry line. Cold fronts and sometimes warm fronts can increase tornado risks and occasionally a sea-breeze front can cause a slight increase in tornado potential over a small, localized area.

What kind of fronts are in a tornado?
There are not fronts in a tornado. However, the thunderstorms that produce tornadoes are most often found ahead of clod fronts. Dry lines are also common producers of tornadoes. Warm fronts and stationary fronts less often. Some tornadoes form from storms not associated with any fronts.
What front is needed for a tornado?
mostly cold fronts
Is it hot outside after a tornado?
Generally not. The storms that produce tornado form more often along cold fronts than warm fronts. So more often the weather is hot before a tornado and cooler afterwards.

When the air temperature goes up does a tornado happen?
No, although hot weather may result in dust devils it is not directly conducive to tornado formation. Tornadoes need thunderstorms called supercells to form. Tornadic storms and other severe weather form along cold fronts (which cause a temperature drop) more often than warm fronts.
What masses and fronts were in the mass tornado hit June 1st 2011?
There are no fronts "in" a tornado, though tornadoes are often associated with them. The tornado outbreak that affected Massacusetts on June 1, 2011 was associated with a cold front, which occurs when a cooler air mass pushes into a warmer one.
What fronts are in a tornado?
Fronts do not occur in tornadoes, though they can play a role in tornado formation. Depending on condtions fronts can trigger thunderstorms which, in turn, sometimes produce tornadoes. Cold fronts produce a fair percentage of tornadoes in the U.S. as do dry lines. More rarely they can form along a warm front. Some tornadoes ocurrin storms that develop without a front.
Is a tornado a frontal storm?
No. A tornado is a small scale but violent whirlwind. A frontal storm is a large scale system that connects to one or more fronts.
Can A Tornado Happen With No Clouds?
No, it can not happen. You will always need a cloud to form a tornado. The kind of cloud that a tornado uses is a cumulonimbus cloud.
Can a tornado happen in a house?
