A tropical storm is a low pressure area of organized thunderstorms. If conditions are right, and the storm is over warm enough water, the low pressure will draw in warm, moist air. As this air rises in the storm the moisture condenses and releases energy. This causes the pressure in the storm to decrease, which gives it an even stronger pull on the air, resulting in faster winds. When sustained winds reach 74 mph, the tropical storm is considered a hurricane.
Hurricanes and tropical storms are both named. Hurricanes have more detailed and already thought of names, while tropical storms aren't as important.
The difference between tropical storms and Hurricanes are simply the strength and/or size. Some tropical storms strengthen, and develop into Hurricanes, while some Hurricanes, as they weaken, fall into the area of tropical storms.
Hurricanes cannot hit Illinois, but storms as strong as tropical storms have.
Some examples of tropical storms that did not develop into hurricanes include Tropical Storm Barry (2019), Tropical Storm Erin (2019), Tropical Storm Olga (2019), and Tropical Storm Imelda (2019). However, there are many other tropical storms throughout history that did not intensify into hurricanes.
Increased wind speed. The distinction between "tropical storm" and "hurricane" is made based on wind speed. Some tropical storms pick up energy from warm water, increase their wind speed, and become hurricanes. Others don't.
