Same here Joshua, David and Kelly.

Perhaps the two images were working right after Chad posted them.

Oh well, hopefully he'll fix them in the morning. In the meantime ... what is an invest?

*snicker* @ "tide you over."

Weather humor...or was I the only one to think that?

Simply an invest is an area of interest that that NHC or TPC is requesting investigation of-hence the "invest". It is usually an area of disturbed weather in the tropics, ATL Basin or EPAC, that is in an area favorable to development and is showing signs it may develop. The invest is actually a request for all ships and other reporting stations within a 300 nm radius of the invest to report their findings weather wise so they can all be compiled and determination made as to whether a TC is developing.
Hope this helps. And if I misspoke myself someone with the correct knowledge feel free to correct me.

My understanding is that "Invests" are actually initiated by the US Navy. Since the Navy has concerns about weather of all kinds to insure the safety of our ships at sea. As I understand it the information gathered is shared with the NHC folks :-)
