– Why can we not predict tornadoes the same way we can hurricanes?

214 views

It seems we can monitor hurricanes weeks out before most even form and pinpoint their rough destination. Why can we not monitor the winds and temperatures in land and know tornadoes are likely to form in a certain area; outside of 30 minutes before hand?

Hurricanes and tornadoes are completely different phenomena. Hurricanes are very large storms that take days to form The conditions that spawn tornadoes are much more immediate and transient.
