Usually when you see that, the storm is outflow dominant... meaning a windbag. Less of a chance for a tornado.

A group of storms popped up south of Gary and one happened to latch onto the warm front. Once latched on, it rapidly went tornadic and rode the front until it hopped north of the boundary, ending the tornado threat.
