A weak tornado is one rated EF0 or EF1. This gives a wind speed range of 65-110 mph (105-177 km/h), though some EF0 tornadoes have been assessed with winds as low as 55 mph (89 km/h).
The estimated wind speed of an EF0 tornado is 65-85 mph.
Potentially, as the ground level wind speed does not say anything about the potential for a tornado to form. However, you still need to have the right condition brewing up in the storm clouds for one to form.
The speed of the winds in a tornado is called the tornado's wind speed. It is usually measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which categorizes tornadoes based on the estimated wind speed. The wind speed can vary greatly depending on the tornado's intensity, with stronger tornadoes having faster wind speeds.
Wind speed in a tornado is usually estimated using the damage caused by the tornado's winds and the Fujita scale, which categorizes tornadoes based on their intensity. Meteorologists may also use Doppler radar data to estimate wind speeds within a tornado. Direct measurement of wind speed in a tornado is rare due to the dangerous and unpredictable nature of tornadoes.
A tornado will produce a very rapid increase in wind speed and similarly rapid changes in wind direction. This is because the wind in a tornado spins around a central axis at high speed. Wind direction shifts as different parts of the tornado pass over.
Wind speeds in a tornado can vary widley. Very weak tornado produce winds of about 65 mph. The most viiolent can have winds over 300 mph. Lower wind speeds are more common.
The estimated wind speed of an EF0 tornado is 65-85 mph.
The largest tornado ever recorded was the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013. This tornado was 2.6 miles wide. Doppler radar measured a wind gust in the tornado at 296 mph, the second highest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado.
Scientists usually use the severity of the damage a tornado causes to estimate its wind speed.

On the original Fujita scale the top wind es for an F1 tornado were set at 112 mph. Winds estimates on the more accurate Enhanced Fujita scale were adjusted for all categories, but the upper bound for anEF1 tornado was shifted only slightly to 110 mph.

Very weak tornadoes have been assessed with peak estimated winds as low as 60 mph, though officially EF0 tornado winds start at 65 mph. However, strong wind events other than tornadoes can also produce winds ell over 65 mph. A tornado is defined more by the fact that it rotates violently than by its wind speed.
Not directly. But changes in wind speed and direction in altitude, called wind shear, plays an important role in tornado formation.
A tornado with estimated winds of 175 mph is an EF4.
