'dangerous wind' is the definition.
'twister' can be an answer for 'wind' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'dangerous' bit.

'its outcome be 'concerning'?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'its' is 'ist' which is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'might' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for twister that I've seen before include "conman" , "Violent local windstorm (US)" , "One-eyed menace" , "Tornado (American)" , "Colloquial name for a tornado" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
