What is Invest (meteorology)?
{{Orphan|date=May 2009}} An '''invest''' in [[meteorology]] ([[weather]]) (also '''INVEST''') is a labelled area of bad weather that is being looked at for a possible [[tropical cyclone]] being made. Invests are labelled by three hurricane centers: the [[National Hurricane Center]], [[Central Pacific Hurricane Center]] and [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]]. The labelling of an area of bad weather as an invest does not always mean that a tropical cyclone will be started. Invests have numbers from 90 to 99, with a L in the [[Atlantic hurricane season|Atlantic]], E and C in the [[Pacific hurricane season|East and Central Pacific]] in that order, or W in the [[Pacific typhoon|West Pacific]] after the number.<ref>{{cite web|author=|title=Glossary of NHC Terms|publisher=National Hurricane Center|accessdate=2008-08-17|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} == Other websites == *[http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tc_pages/tc_home.html Navy/NRL Tropical Cyclone Page] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225201201/http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tc_pages/tc_home.html |date=2013-12-25 }} - tropical cyclones and INVESTS around the world right now {{weather-stub}} [[Category:Meteorology]]
