Patrick Brafford, a beach lifeguard manager, uses a tie down strap to help secure a compact track loader and a lifeguard tower to help pull it further away from the water in preparation of potential storm at Clearwater Beach on Saturday, Aug. 3, 2024, in Clearwater, Fla. It’s an area of low atmospheric pressure, thunderstorms and wind sloshing out of the Caribbean Sea across Cuba, into the Gulf of Mexico and toward Florida.
In the Northern Hemisphere, those winds move counterclockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere they move clockwise.Before the National Hurricane Center issued its first advisory on the system Friday, it was referred to as “Invest 97L.” Jack Beven, senior hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center, said “invest,” short for investigation, is mostly an internal designation used to designate a tropical wave or area of disturbed weather that forecasters want to watch.
Forecasters expect the storm to keep getting stronger. Once they judge that it has passed the 39 mph mark, it will get a name: Tropical Storm Debby.In the Atlantic basin, hurricanes are classified based on their wind speeds on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the weakest and 5 being the strongest. However, wind strength doesn’t signify how much tidal storm surge a hurricane could push into coastal areas, or how much rain it might bring.
