The precursor to Tropical Storm Lee started out in an area of disturbed weather over the Caribbean Sea. A low pressure system called a tropical wave then emerged from this and traveled into the Gulf of Mexico. There this system gradually became better organized until it was classified as Tropical Depression Thirteen. The depression then fed of the moist air over the Gulf, eventually becoming a strong tropical storm named Lee.

Are there any tropical storms in Minnesota?
No. Tropical storms develop over warm ocean water and don't remain tropical storms more than a couple hundred miles inland. Even then, Minnesota gets its fair share of nasty storms, including tornadoes, even if it does not get tropical storms.
Is tropical storm the same thing as storm?
Not exactly. A tropical storm is indeed a kind of storm, but not all storms are tropical storms.
How are tropical storms in the northern hemisphere different tropical storms in the southern hemisphere?
Tropical storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.
How are tropical storms in the northern hemisphere different from tropical storms in the northern hemisphere?
Tropical storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.
What global wind belt causes newly formed tropical storms or hurricanes to travel in a westerly directional?
The global wind belt that causes newly formed tropical storms or hurricanes to travel in a westerly direction is the Trade Winds. These winds blow from east to west in the tropics and play a crucial role in steering tropical storms. As storms develop over warm ocean waters, the Trade Winds push them westward toward continental landmasses. This movement is particularly prominent in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Are hurricanes given names while tropical storms are not?
Hurricanes and tropical storms are both named. Hurricanes have more detailed and already thought of names, while tropical storms aren't as important.
What is the relationship between hurricane tropical storms and tropical storms?
Tropical storms and hurricanes are different intensity levels of the same type of storm: a tropical cyclone. The difference is that a tropical storm has winds of 39-73 mph and a hurricane has winds of 74 mph or greater.
Does the arctic tundra get tropical storms?
No. As you might expect from the name, tropical storms do not stray too far from the tropics.
What are the seven main storms?
Tornadoes, rainstorms, tropical storms, hurricane, blizzard, tropical storm, snow storm.
When do tropical storms form?
Tropical storms form when the weather system creates heat which powers the storm causing winds to increase. They rely on plenty of warm, moist air from the sea. This causes the spinning to start.
How many tropical storms?
On average, there are around 80 tropical storms around the world each year. These storms form in tropical or subtropical regions and can develop into hurricanes or typhoons under the right conditions. Tropical storms are a common occurrence during the hurricane season, which varies by region.
Can there be tropical tornado storms?
Depends on what you mean. Tornadoes can occur in the tropics, and tropical storms can produce tornadoes, but a tropical storm and a tornado are two very different things.
