Which parts of a hurricane/tropical storm/depression tend to generate more tornadoes?

Question

I think that the heavier rain bands stay to the south of the eye, and the more thunderstorm-like cells stay to the north and east, but I don't know if that's right.

Thanks!

Answer 1

The strongest part of the hurricane outside of the eye wall is the Norhteast quadrant of the storm. That is the part of the storm that will produce the most tornados because as the storm rotates, a lot of the energy gets focused into the northeast quadrant, and that is why the heaviest rains and the strongest thunderstorms are in that part outside of the eye wall.

Answer 2

well if your in the eye no rain  and slight winds if your any where else in it  it could cause a few tornados possibly

Answer 3

The correct answer is that it is dependent on the motion of the storm.

It most often is the right - front quadrant of the storm where the most energy is located since the speed of the storm movement is added to the other forces.

In the case of a due west moving storm it would be the northwest quadrant. In the case of a northeast moving system, it would be the northeast through the southeast quadrant.

The problem is, even through this is the area

where the area where tornadoes more often form, tornadoes can form in any of the quadrants. When dealing with tropical systems/hurricanes there is no part of the system that can be called "safe".
