Re: Future Systems

I don't post too often because I'm more of a learner, but I've been visiting for years. Question: Why is Lee considered a Tropical Storm, but TD #14 is not? Lee has 30 mph winds with 1010 mb, while TD14 had 35 mph winds and 1008 mb. I don't get it. What makes one a tropical storm, and the other a depression?
