An inflow tail is a narrow jet of especially strong wind flowing into a tornado, usually from behind.

Which direction will the wind blow when a tornado is near?

That varies. If you are close enough to be in the area of the tornado's inflow then the wind will blow almost directly towards the tornado, perhaps a little to the right of that direction. In that case the wind direction will depend on where the tornado is relative to you. If you are beyond the inflow area for the tornado, then nothing about the wind direction would indicate the approaching tornado.


What are the parts of a tornado called?

Most tornadoes have a visible condensation funnel as well as a dust and/or debris cloud. Some tornadoes, have an area similar to the eye of a hurricane called a weak echo region. A few tornado also contain subvorticies, which are almost like mini tornadoes withing the main circulation. Another feature seen in some tornadoes is called an inflow tail or inflow jet, where winds outside the main circulation flow inwards really fast.


When an eye of a tornado comes back more severe than the general tornado what is that called?

When the eye of a tornado becomes more intense and destructive than the larger tornado, it is known as a "tornado within a tornado" or a "satellite tornado." This phenomenon occurs when a smaller, more powerful vortex forms within the main tornado circulation.

What is a tornado alarm?

A tornado alarm is a warning system that is used to alert people of an impending tornado. It is typically a loud siren or whistle that sounds when a tornado is spotted or conditions are favorable for one to occur, allowing residents to seek shelter and take necessary precautions.

What does a windvane do when a tornado is on its way?

Why is debris often described as being sucked in to a tornado?

Debris appears to be "sucked in" to a tornado due to the strong inflow winds leading into the tornado's vortex. The low pressure inside the tornado combined with the high wind speeds can lift and carry debris into the storm. This creates the illusion of objects being pulled into the tornado.


What happens when a tornado spins faster?

When a tornado spins faster its winds carry more force, so the tornado can cause more severe damage than it could before. Under some circumstances the increase in speed can trigger a phenomenon called vortex breakdown. In this process air at the center of the tornado begins to sink, forcing the tornado to widen. The collision between outward moving air from the center of the tornado and inflow toward the tornado then results in the formation of a series of smaller vortices within the tornado.
