I was thinking maybe a missile could disrupt the wind pattern of a tornado, what do you think?

What size of missile are you talking about here? There's a wide variety at our disposal. A great many problems can be solved by increasingly larger explosions. Yeah, you may end up with new, different problems, but that's for future you to deal with, present you gets to go BOOOOOOM! FUCK YEAH! DID YOU SEE THAT SHIT?!?

Probably, though it depends on the size of the explosion. An actual nuclear detonation would probably handle it, though you probably wouldn't need to go into MT territory for it.

I bet a 10KT yield at the roof of the cyclone would knock it out.

I specifically remember as a kid playing in the bathtub, and interrupting or splashing around with the little cyclone that would form by the drain. I could get it to go away but it would always reform fairly quickly.

So I suspect on a larger scale, you could probably disrupt a tornado with a big enough of "boom" but if the surrounding weather conditions were conducive to a tornado forming, it would probably come back reasonably quickly.

Unless you made a big enough "boom" to disrupt local weather patterns. But for that you'd need, like, a MOAB or something at least.

A cyclone or hurricane, however, would probably be too big even for nukes. Those are hundreds of miles across.

Only if nuclear, and when it goes wrong you have a nuclear tornado.

This could be the next Sharknado movie with radioactive mutant sharks.

First it was the ridiculous overuse of "bomb cyclone". Now we have a tornado missile. Don't tell The Weather Channel or we'll be inundated with stupid graphics for a year.

I think if we sent up a bomber to drop a load of maple seeds into the tornado, the spinning of the seeds would suck the momentum out of the storm and save the day.

I vaguely remember a crappy noveĺ from maybe the 60s about a squadron that chased tornadoes and bombed them into submission.
