With all the buzz of the finally active Atlantic hurricane season, you might have heard the term “Invest” being used.

Here is the definition as defined by the National Hurricane Center:

Invest:

A weather system for which a tropical cyclone forecast center (NHC, CPHC, or JTWC) is interested in collecting specialized data sets (e.g., microwave imagery) and/or running model guidance. Once a system has been designated as an invest, data collection and processing is initiated on a number of government and academic web sites, including the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (UW-CIMSS). The designation of a system as an invest does not correspond to any particular likelihood of development of the system into a tropical cyclone; operational products such as the Tropical Weather Outlook or the JTWC/TCFA should be consulted for this purpose.

Here is a link to their glossary for other useful terms. Hope this helps!

Yesterday, August 5, 2010, the NOAA announced that La Nina is officially in action over the Pacific Ocean. In addition, the NOAA stated that they are still expecting an active hurricane season!

In two of our recent posts, “What’s all this talk about La Nina?” and “Busy Hurricane Season? Let us not forget the past!”, we discussed how experts were warning of La Nina conditions forming and how that might increase hurricane activity over the Atlantic. We also looked back at the past patterns of serious hurricanes and how many of them formed during “peak” season – late August.

In the NOAA’s article, they state “With the season’s peak just around the corner – late August through October – the need for preparedness plans is essential.”

In addition, the NOAA states, ““All indications are for considerable activity during the next several months,” said Gerry Bell, Ph.D., lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. “As we’ve seen in past years, storms can come on quickly during the peak months of the season. There remains a high likelihood that the season could be very active, with the potential of being one of the more active on record.”

The NOAA predicts that climate factors such as warmer-than-average water in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean, and the tropical multi-decadal signal, which since 1995 has brought favorable ocean and atmospheric conditions in unison, lead to more active seasons.

We encourage everyone to stay prepared in the event that the predictions come to fruition. We might have a tendency to figure, just because the season is slow right now, that we have nothing to worry about. Nonetheless, it is always wise to stay prepared.

Projected Path of Tropical Storm 4

Eyes are on watch as we wait to see what happens. Tropical Depression 4 could become Tropical Storm Colin by this evening (Monday, August 2). At least the projected path doesn’t include any landfall as of now. Let’s hope it stays on the Atlantic and we all just get residual rains.
