Hurricane Tacks - No Active Atlantic Storms
The term "Invest" (short for Investigation) is followed by the numbers 90 through 99 and either the letter "L" for the Atlantic basin systems or "E" for the eastern Pacific systems. By designating a tropical weather system as an "Invest", the collection of specialized data sets and computer model guidance on the area of interest can begin. This collection and processing of data is shown on a number of government and academic websites for analyzing. The "Invest" assignment does not correspond to how likely a system may develop into a tropical depression or storm.
