Video Blog: Watch new Cut-Off Low forming just offshore.

Hi Gang,

One wag on the forums once said of Cut-Off Lows that he suspected we made them up on days when we did not have a clue what would happen with the wind. And actually he was right about the "not a clue" part of this statement. But if Cut-Off Low are not the product of clueless forecasters... where do they come from and why do they make forecasting so difficult?

To see a video of the actual creation of a Cut-Off Low over the last 24 hours use this link:

Mike,
Just curious, but is this why the recent Berkeley/Bay iWind "grey line" wind predictions have been so off (last two days great winds at His Lords for example, but prediction line said nada - today also)?
Thanks, David
