Weather Why: What is a tropical invest?
SUMMARY: A tropical invest is an area under investigation for tropical activity but not yet named. These areas often bring heavy rain but typically don’t strengthen rapidly. When an invest develops a closed circulation, a well-defined center, and organized thunderstorms around the center, it becomes a tropical system. Tropical systems are classified by wind speeds: less than 39 mph is a tropical depression, 39 mph or greater is a tropical storm, and 74 mph or higher is a hurricane. Invests are numbered 90 to 99, cycling back to 90 after 99, with a letter suffix indicating the ocean basin, such as “L” for Atlantic.
‘Invest’ is typically used to describe disturbances that have not yet been named.
