Weather Impact How does a tornado form? Here's the science behind the deadly weather phenomenon There's a particular set of factors that lead to the formation of tornadoes. Here's what they are.

Last night's severe weather kicked off a flood watch in Ohio, but tornadoes can form any time. Here's what to know about them and how they form.

Understanding how tornadoes form helps scientists improve warning systems, potentially saving lives by providing earlier alerts when conditions are favorable for these destructive storms.
