to watch out for approaching tornadoes, so that those communities can take appropriate action in the event of a tornado. Spotter information is relayed to the National Weather Service, which operates the Doppler radars and which issues warnings, usually relayed to the public by radio and televison, for communities ahead of the storms using all the information they can obtain from weather maps, modern weather radars, storm spotters, monitoring power line breaks, and so on.Prediction:Atmospheric Conditions. Tornadoes can be predicted, but only to a limited extent. Although the process by which tornadoes form is not completely understood, scientific research has revealed that tornadoes usually form under certain types of atmospheric conditions. Those conditions can be predicted, but not perfectly.When forecasters see those conditions, they can predict that tornadoes are likely to occur. However, it is not yet possible to predict in advance exactly when and where they will develop, how strong they will be, or precisely what path they will follow.There are some "surprises" every year, when tornadoes form in situations that do not look like the right conditions in advance, but these are becoming less frequent. Once a tornado is formed and has been detected, warnings can be issued based on the path of the storm producing the tornado, but even these cannot be precise about who will or will not be struck.Environmental Clues. Some clues to look for in the environment that could give you an idea that a tornado is coming are that the sky gets dark and sometimes green, there are walls of clouds everywhere, even close to the ground, large hail comes down, and loud roars, like a freight train. These are all things that help us to determine if we may experience a tornado.Staying Safe:Safety Rules To Follow. During a tornado, you should always take the proper safety rules so that you can stay safe with your family. The main rule to follow is be protect...
