Weather Words: Invest
Every named tropical system has to start somewhere, and for many, the early days before a name is even given, it starts as an 'invest.' Short for 'investigation,' an invest is a designated zone in the ocean that the National Hurricane Center (NHC) or other weather agencies are watching for potential tropical development. Once a cluster of thunderstorms shows signs of organization or poses a long-range threat to land or shipping routes, it can be labeled as an invest and assigned a number 90-99 and either the letter L or E (like Invest 92L in the Atlantic or 99E in the eastern Pacific). Assigning an invest doesn't mean a storm will form, but it does signal a shift in attention. It allows computer models to start running dedicated forecasts on that specific area and triggers more frequent satellite analysis and, in some cases, reconnaissance flights - when the hurricane hunters are called in to fly through the storm and collect data. It's basically the meteorological world's way of saying, 'Let's keep a close eye on this one.' While not all invests will become named storms, many are the early chapters of hurricanes that will later dominate the news. For forecasters and weather watchers alike, seeing a new invest pop up is a reminder that hurricane season is here, and preparation may be needed down the road.

More dry conditions in Colorado before monsoon moisture
Monsoon moisture is expected to return to Colorado this week, but before it arrives, the Front Range will see mostly dry conditions with isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Temperatures on Sunday will be in the mid-90s for the metro area, with 70s and 80s in the mountains. A couple of areas could see an afternoon thunderstorm, but most will notice an increase in clouds throughout the day with a little breeze. That changes mid-week as Colorado sits between a low-pressure system and a high-pressure system, which will pull moisture from the Pacific and the Gulf. The rain will be a welcome sight for the state as the western half is seeing severe to extreme drought.

Heavy Rains and Flash Floods Threaten Midwest and Ohio Valley
Severe, slow-moving storms are expected to sweep across Illinois and Indiana on Sunday, with some areas potentially getting up to 11 inches of rainfall, significantly raising the risk of flash flooding, forecasters said. The threat stems from a cold front moving into the region, particularly in the afternoon, and stalling there, creating conditions for repeated rounds of storms that could unload torrential rains. The Weather Prediction Center has issued a Level 3 out of 4 risk for excessive rainfall across central Illinois. The center said rainfall rates could reach three to four inches per hour, and up to eight inches in some areas. Frank Pereira, a meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center, said that a significant amount of atmospheric moisture was contributing to the risk of intense rainfall. 'Typically during the summer, we get warm humid air masses,' he said. 'But this is on the higher end of that.' A Level 2 out of 4 risk for flash flooding extended from eastern Iowa and northern Missouri to western West Virginia and as far south as northeast Georgia and western North Carolina. Much of this region was under multiple flood watches on Sunday. Damaging winds, hail, tornadoes and other types of severe weather were also a concern. The Storm Prediction Center placed central Illinois, Central Indiana, southern Ohio, northern Kentucky and southeastern West Virginia under a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe storms on Sunday. The main threats included strong, potentially damaging winds and isolated hail. There was a low risk for tornadoes. The risk of flash flooding was expected to persist into the week. 'Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, there's a concern the storms in those areas may be impacted by more additional heavy rains going into Monday,' Mr. Pereira said. 'So if you get back-to-back or repeated storms, that could really elevate flooding concerns.' The Weather Prediction Center has issued a Level 2 out of 4 risk on Monday for excessive rainfall across those states, as well as for southwestern West Virginia and the far west of Virginia. The ground will already be saturated from Sunday's storms, forecasters said, and additional rainfall could reach up to three inches an hour, and locally as much as five inches, causing conditions ripe for flash flooding.
