Weather analysis for 16 Aug 2007 with 12Z maps

Cyclogenesis occurred in the Atlantic around 30N, 70W. It shows up as a distinctive comma cloud pattern on water vapor imagery. Another mid-latitude cyclone is near 30N, 45W, which has resulted in a strong shear zone between the two. The sense of the shear is such that it would produce anticyclonic vortices.
Emily came onshore near Rockport, TX. Dean is approaching the islands north of South America. Flossie in the Pacific encountered strong shear and has dissipated.
A large closed upper-level low is still off the coast of WA and OR. Cyclogenesis is happening north-northwest of the Hawaiian islands. Another circulation has peeled off the coast of Baja California and is entering the Pacific.
GFS brings the low onshore by 6Z on Saturday, but if it's really a cutoff low, that forecast probably won't verify because the models have trouble with cutoff lows.
