Tornados occur when cold air collides with warm air. In the day, the sun heats the ground and the surrounding air. As the heated air rises, there's a chance it will collide with a cold front, creating thunderstorms and even tornados.
At night, the surface air temperature is more stable (not rising as quickly as air heated by the sun) and is, therefore, less likely to cause sever storms.
That being said, tornados are likely to occur whenever cold fronts and warm fronts collide - day or night.

Tornadoes ensue in any respect circumstances of the day. the ingredient you gotta remember is; tornadoes at evening are two times as frightening because of the fact those for the duration of the day when you consider which you commonly can no longer see them coming.

They don't. Many tornadoes occur at night.
The recent tornadoes in Florida occurred at night.
