Tornadoes are accompanied by the same color lightning that you would see in any other storm. It can be white, orange, pink, blue, or violet.
Since tornadoes are a form of weather, they would be predicted by a meteorologist.
Trailer parks would last longer
Tornadoes are more likely to occur in the late afternoon and early evening, between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. This is when there is a combination of warm, moist air near the surface and cool, dry air aloft, creating favorable conditions for tornado formation.
Tornadoes themselves cannot be seen from space because they are blocked from above by the thunderstorms that produce them. The link below shows a storm satellite of a storm system that was producing tornadoes at the time the picture was taken. The tornadoes themselves formed under the storms that are seen as the right-hand branch of the spiral-shaped system. Again, what you are seeing is the storm that produced the tornadoes, not the tornadoes themselves. At this resolution individual tornadoes would be too small to see anyway.
Hail and tornadoes would most likely be associated with a cold front or dry line.
cold front
A cold front is most likely to bring hail and tornadoes into an area. As the cold front advances, it forces warm, moist air to rise rapidly, creating instability that can lead to severe thunderstorms, hail, and tornado development.
Tornadoes, hail and other forms of severe weather most often form ahead of cold fronts.
Severe thunderstorms most often occur ahead of cold fronts.
A cold front is most likely to bring hail and possible tornadoes into an area because of the rapid lifting of warm, moist air ahead of the front, creating unstable conditions conducive to severe weather. The cold front also provides the necessary temperature gradient and dynamics for the formation of strong thunderstorms capable of producing hail and tornadoes.
Hail and tornadoes are most often associated with cold fronts, but can occur with dry lines or, lest often, warm fronts.
A cold front would likely bring hail and possible tornadoes into an area. This is because cold fronts are characterized by the rapid lifting of warm, moist air, which can generate severe thunderstorms with hail and tornadoes. Additionally, the clash between the cold dense air behind the front and the warm moist air ahead of it creates an unstable atmosphere favorable for severe weather.
A warm front typically brings light to moderate snowfall. As the warm air rises over the cold air mass, it cools and condenses, resulting in precipitation. The snow from a warm front tends to be wetter and lighter compared to snow associated with a cold front.
A warm front occurring in winter typically brings a snowstorm with light snowfall and prolonged precipitation. This can lead to heavy, wet snow that is often accompanied by freezing rain or sleet, making conditions slippery and hazardous.
An occluded front typically brings overcast skies, prolonged periods of rain or snow, and cooler temperatures. It can also cause strong, gusty winds to develop as the front passes through an area.
Cold weather. If a front was moving off the Pacific at the same time, you would see snow.
