What is a super cell thunderstorm?
A supercell thunderstorm is a severe and long-lasting thunderstorm characterized by a deep, rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. These storms can produce severe weather such as large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. Super cells are among the most dangerous and destructive types of thunderstorms.
Does a severe thunderstorm warning occur a tornado?
Most severe thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes. If a tornado is detected or it is believed a storm might produce one a tornado warning is issued, which is more serious than a severe thunderstorm warning. A thunderstorm that produces a tornado is automatically classified as severe even if other severe weather (damaging non-tornadic wind or large hail) does not occur.
What is an extremely powerful self sustaining thunderstorm characterized by intense rotating updrafts and down drafts?
A supercell is an extremely powerful self-sustaining thunderstorm characterized by intense rotating updrafts and downdrafts. These storms often have large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes as a result of their strong rotation. Supercells can persist for several hours and are the most dangerous type of thunderstorm.
Does a thunderstorm cause a tornado?
No. It is the other way around. However, only some tornadoes are formed by hurricanes. Tornados are tiny funnels that spin far faster than hurricanes, but hurricane are hundreds of times larger. TORNADOS ARE NOT CYCLONES. don't get confused between the two.
What is a Small intense weather system that produces strong winds?
A small intense weather system that produces strong winds is called a microburst. A microburst is a localized column of sinking air within a thunderstorm that results in a sudden, strong downward burst of wind at the surface. These events can cause significant damage and pose a danger to aviation.
What tornado that is not a supercell?
No tornado is a supercell. A supercell is a type thunderstorm that produces most tornadoes. Tornadoes that form without the aid of the mesocyclone of a supercell are usually landspouts.
What type of thunderstorm is associated with tornadoes?
Tornadoes are most often associated with a type of thunderstorm called a supercell.
What do you call a severe thunderstorm where a tornado begins?

What is the significance of a supercell?
A supercell is the most powerful variety of thunderstorm on earth. They are the most prolific produces of severe weather. Supercells are the primary produces of very large hail and strong tornadoes.
What type of weather makes tornadoes?
Tornadoes are produce by thunderstorms. Most tornadoes form in a special kind of thunderstorm called a supercell, the most powerful type of thunderstorm on earth.
What do most tornadoes form in association with?

These storms can produce severe weather such as large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. Super cells are among the most dangerous and destructive types of thunderstorms.
Where are most of the tornadoes formed in a severe thunderstorm?
Usually tornadoes are found in the southwest quadrant of the thunderstorm, which is the updraft portion, usually at the back of the storm.
Is a tornado a effect of a thunderstorm?
Yes. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
What type of thunderstorms are associated with tornadoes?
Tornadoes, especially strong tornadoes, are most often associated with a type of thunderstorm called a supercell.
