Tropical Storms
Once a tropical depression has intensified to the point where its maximum sustained winds are between 35-64 knots (39-73 mph), it becomes a tropical storm. It is at this time that it is assigned a name.

Tropical Storms and Hurricanes
Tropical storms are born, among other places, in the Caribbean and the waters off West Africa.
Tropical storm Organized thunderstorms with a cyclonic wind circulation between 35 and 64 knots.
Tropopause The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere.
Tropical storm A tropical cyclone having wind speeds of 63 to 118 km (39 to 73 mi) per hour; a storm at pre-hurricane stage.
Tropopause Zone of transition between the troposphere below and the stratosphere above; the top of the troposphere.
tropical storm—winds of 35 to 64 knots (65 to 119 km/h);
hurricane or typhoon—winds of 65 knots or higher (120 km/h).
tropical depression—See tropical cyclone.
Tropical Storm Formation Tropical storms generally form in the eastern portion of tropical oceans and track westward. Hurricanes, typhoons, and willy-willies all start out as weak low pressure areas that form over warm tropical waters (e.g.
Tropical Storm- An organized low pressure system in the tropics with wind speeds between 38 and 74 mph.
Tropical Storm Warning- A warning issued when sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph (34 to 63 knots) are expected within 24 hours.
Subtropical Storm A subtropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind speed (using the U.S. 1-minute average) is 34 kt (39 mph or 63 kph) or more.
Tropical Storm Gamma forms from a regeneration of Tropical Depression 27, becoming the 24th named storm of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. (NHC)

Tropical Storm - It's a low-pressure disturbance that forms over warm tropical ocean waters. In the United States, a tropical storm has winds between 39-73 m.p.h.
An extratropical storm is a cyclone that no longer derives its energy source from the processes involved in sustaining a tropical cyclone, but thrives on baroclinic processes; i.e., the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses.
Hurricane- A tropical storm that has winds of 119 kilometers per hour or higher; typically about 600 kilometers across.
Ice ages- Cold time periods in Earth's history, during which glaciers covered large parts of the surface.

Inland Tropical Storm WarningIssued for interior counties when sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph associated with a tropical storm are expected within 24 hours.
hurricanes: tropical storms with winds exceeding 74 mph originating over the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans near high humidity and light winds.
The center of a tropical storm or hurricane, characterized by a roughly circular area of light winds and rain-free skies. An eye will usually develop when the maximum sustained wind speeds exceed 78 mph.
Extratropical cycloneA storm that forms outside the tropics, sometimes as a tropical storm or hurricane changes. See table below for differences between extratropical and tropical cyclones.
Depending on sustained surface winds, the system is classified as a tropical disturbance, a tropical depression, a tropical storm, or a hurricane or typhoon.
Tropical Storm: A Tropical Cyclone having winds between 39 to 73 mph or 63 to 118 km. Given a name starting with the letters "A" through "Z". Example: Tropical Storm "Art".
This term encompasses tropical depressions, tropical storms, hurricanes, and typhoons.
Cyclones, Typhoons and Hurricanes The recent floods in Mozambique and Madagascar are the result of a very active tropical storm season in the Indian Ocean this year.
Hurricane - (also known as (Typhoon, Tropical Cyclones, Willy- Willies) Tropical storms with wind speeds of 64 knots (117km/h) up to 240 knots (414 km/h) that can be thousands of square kilometers in size.
