    The sixteenth tropical depression of the season has formed just east of the Bahamas. 16L is located in a region of strong shear ahead of a cold front. The depression could strengthen into a tropical storm before it merges with the cold front in the next day or so- however, the environment is far from favourable for significant intensification at this time. Current intensity is 30kts.

    EDIT: Just been upgraded to Tropical Storm Patty, with sustained winds now at 35kts.

    Looks like Patty will be short lived and is to be ripped apart soon, the top half going NE in the jet stream and the lower part to the SE in a cold airflow.

    I love the word discombobulate!

    Edit: Now downgraded to a tropical depression.

    Patty lived for longer than originally anticipated and peaked at 40kts. As you say though Jon, Patty is being sheared apart as we speak, by strong southwesterly upper level winds and northeasterly low level winds. The LLC is completely exposed from convection, and Patty will soon be a remnant low by the looks of things. The remnant low will then drift towards the north coast of Cuba.
