Regardless of what the ersatz experts claim to know...the REAL experts at the National Weather Service's 'Storm Prediction Center' acknowledged no one fully understands how tornadoes form..

"_How do tornadoes form?_"
"The classic answer -- "warm moist Gulf air meets cold Canadian air and dry air from the Rockies"--is a gross oversimplification. Many thunderstorms form under those conditions (near warm fronts, cold fronts and drylines respectively), which never even come close to producing tornadoes.
"Even when the large-scale environment is extremely favorable for tornadic thunderstorms, as in an SPC "High Risk" outlook, not every thunderstorm spawns a tornado. The truth is that we don't fully understand."
So...who do you think knows more about how tornadoes form?
People who pursue the science as a profession or those who drive aimlessly around the country-side chasing them?

It takes a thunderstorm to produce a tornado. Thunderstorms are created when cold dry air from the north interacts with warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. Warm moist air rises as the cold dry air sinks. This can help create atmospheric instability.
Currently, there are two seperate ways a tornado is formed. Supercell thunderstorms will often have storm scale rotation which is called mesocyclone. It is known that there is air underneath the storm that is rotating horizontally. When the updraft of the storm strengthens, with the help of inflow winds, the horizontal rotating air can be tilted into the vertical. If the rotation is strong enough, a lowering from the base of the storm cloud can form and make a wall cloud. Sometimes, the wall cloud can be rotating as well.If the updraft, downdraft, and rear flank downdraft are present, this can strengthen the rotation and can create a funnel cloud. If the rotation remains strong and eventually reaches the ground, then a tornado has formed.
A non-supercell tornado does not form from organized storm scale rotation. They form from a vertically rotating air that is already occurring near the ground. This is caused by wind shear from a warm, cold, or sea breeze front, or a dryline. When an updraft moves over the rotating air and stretches it, a tornado can form.
