a cold front meets a warm front for a tornado. hurricanes start as tropical depressions and gather strength as they move over warm water. i live in florida, and that is happening right now.

Cool, dry air moves into an area of warm and humid air. If there is enough moisture, and a "trigger", such as a low pressure system or a "dry line", then the moist air will rise, creating the large cumulonimbus clouds associated with thunderstorms.
If conditions are exactly right, the storm may develop into a "super cell" or an intense storm miles across. The same updrafts that created the storm may begin to rotate, and once rotation begins, sometimes it will intensify. The funnels we see are simply the water droplets and debris whirling around the updraft.
The winds in a tornado are the fastest winds measured on Earth, stronger than hurricane winds, although more localized, and can go over 300 MPH. (search for "Fujita Scale" for a guide to tornado strength.)
we still do not know WHY updrafts begin to rotate, and which ones will intensify and which ones will become killers.
As far as Hurricanes go, I'm an Oklahoma boy... I got nothin'

answer:
a low pressure wind and a high pressure wind meet in one location. When these winds meet, a tornado and a hurricane are formed.
