Officially the minimum wind speed for an EF0 tornado is 65 mph, though a few have occurred with 60 mph winds.

In terms of forward speed, some tornadoes don't move at all.

What happens after surface winds slow down in a tornado due to ground friction?

When surface winds slow down in a tornado due to ground friction, the tornado may weaken or dissipate altogether. This is because a tornado's strength is dependent on the fast rotation of air at the surface, so when this rotation slows down, the tornado's intensity is reduced.


How does a tornado slow down?

A tornado can slow down due to a decrease in the wind speed of the surrounding air, friction with the Earth's surface, and changes in the atmospheric conditions that originally fueled its formation. These factors can weaken the tornado's circulation and cause it to dissipate or lose intensity.

Is it possible for a tornado to go south?

Absolutely. A tornado usually follows the path of the storm in which it results. So, if a storm is going south, the tornado has a high priority of going south. It is also possible for a tornado to go in a different direction than the storm in which it forms. For example, if a storm is headed west, a tornado could develop and go north. Hope this is helpful.
