What is the difference between tropical storm and tropical disturbance?

A tropical disturbance is an area of low pressure in the tropics that produces disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Tropical disturbances can produce gusty winds, but lack an organized circulation and center of rotation. A tropical storm is better organized, with a closed circulation and a well-defined center of circulation. By definition, a tropical storm must have sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph.
