Abstract
The tornado forecast becomes a small-scale problem as the tornado-generating severe-thunderstorm area approaches a particular locality. Consequently, much of this problem can be solved by the best possible analysis of surface synoptic weather data. Various tornado occurrences were investigated and found to be associated with meso-lows. These meso-lows were depicted either by the intersection of two instability lines or by the intersection of a squall line with a northeastern boundary of rain-cooled air. An explanation is given for the formation of tornadoes along this intersection.
