Word of the week - CYCLOGENESIS

I thought it interesting that the National Weather Service used this term in the their discussion.

cyclogenesis is just the the intensification or development of a cyclone.

A cyclone is a large-scale, atmospheric wind-and-pressure system characterized by low pressure at its center and by circular wind motion, counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere -  or in other words a low pressure system.
