Invest 99-L (August 2016)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

When has any Invest articles been discussed as being allowed to made? This is just a pointless page and also that invests are just disturbances with no significant media coverage, except by NHC and weather sites MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 01:59, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Whereas this is very true, Invest 99L is different. It brought about much controversy among the weather community, and a huge difference between the GFS and ECMWF models. This is a disturbance with very significant media coverage, especially on The Weather Channel because of the nature of the storm and the way the two main models are so different. Back to media coverage, right now if you type Invest 99L into google; The Weather Channel (and Weather Underground), KATC, WKRG, WFLA, Brevard Times, WBRZ, WTSB, Fox 4, and NBC 2 all show up on the first page. This is more coverage than most storms get alone. INFOWeather1 (talk/contribs) 02:13, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The models are all over the place because it doesn't have a closed center to which the models can latch onto, that's why it's getting this coverage. Plus, there are many tropical storms/hurricanes that didn't get an article yet were covered largely by the media. I don't see why Invest 99L should be exempt from this statement. Therefore, the article is redundant. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 02:27, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Can someone close this? It became a depression and I turned it into a redirect. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 21:17, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
