Same here. It won't develop; the first tropical storm I think will be in May.

Technically, the Atlantic had its first invest already - The tropical system off the coast of Brazil in the South Atlantic in late February.

Well then rephrase that question, the first invest in the N.Atlantic?

Personally I'd go with late April and a 20 page thread to go with it talking about how theres a small burst of convection and blah blah blah!

An invest is a tropicl Disturbance that is concidered a suspect for devlopment. The navy issues them.

HurricaneHunter914 · #18 Postby **HurricaneHunter914** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 7:35 pm

I think an invest is a tropical or sub-tropical system in any basin of the world. The system has to have enough convection and organization to become an invest. Usually most invests become cyclones.

This describes well what an invest is.

:darrow:

Letter identifiers are assigned to the storm's basin of origin. If a storm passes over a basin boundary, the storm will maintain it's basin of origin letter identifier even though it has entered a new region. For example, storm "Alpha" originates in the Eastern Pacific and is assigned 01E. If it makes its way into the Central Pacific it will still maintain its number and name designation even though it is seen under the Central Pacific header.
The storm number can be an eighty series (80-89), ninety series (90-99), or a number between 1 and 50. Storms seen with a number between 80 and 89 are usually used for testing purposes only. Storms with numbers between 90 and 99 are areas that forecasters use to monitor suspect regions typically with disorganized large-scale convection that has a chance to develop into a more organized system such as a tropical depression. Storms with numbers between 1 and 50 are/were storms that reached tropical storm strength or higher.
The naming convention after the number/basin pair can be called INVEST, NONAME, or assigned name. All storms will start with an INVEST name. When the system becomes a tropical storm this name will change to either NONAME or assigned name. NONAME is assigned to storms which do not have an official assigned name yet. Assigned names are given to tropical storms according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Typically, storms that form in the Indian Ocean north of the equator will have NONAME. There are a few occasions where a tropical storm name will have an INVEST or a ONE, TWO,... following the number/basin pair. This name is only temporary and typically lasts for only a couple of hours. This is caused by the timing of the position updates generated by the Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting (ATCF) system and when forecasters determine that the system has become a tropical storm.
