Tornadoes can sometimes contain rain, which is often found wrapping around the funnel cloud. Hail may also be present in a tornado, typically in the form of larger hailstones and often found near the base of the tornado. However, not all tornadoes have rain or hail associated with them.
Hail is just frozen rain. If it's cold enough in the air, the rain will freeze, thus creating hail.
Tornadoes themselves do not contain rain and hail bur are often accompanied by them.
No. There are dry thunderstorms, which often pose an especially high risk of fires.
Hail and rain can occur before a tornado because they are associated with the same weather system. As cold and warm air masses collide, they create unstable conditions that can lead to both hail and tornadoes. The hail and rain are often part of the severe thunderstorms that can produce tornadoes.
Tornadoes typically do not produce their own precipitation. Instead, they form from existing thunderstorms that may already be producing rain or hail. When a tornado does occur in the presence of precipitation, it can be difficult to see due to heavy rain and may be obscured by a curtain of water.
Tornadoes themselves do not bring precipitation, but they can form from thunderstorms where heavy rain, hail, or sleet may occur.
Thunderstorms are typically associated with heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning. Other common features of thunderstorms include thunder, hail, and sometimes tornadoes. They can be intense and are known to cause various types of severe weather hazards.
Tornadoes are associated with heavy rainfall and large hail. However, precipitation may not always be observed during a tornado due to the intense wind and rotation of the storm.
