Default Criticism of Carnoustie forecast by TV pundits.

Quote " forecasts have been dodgy all week" said Mark James after reading
out a three hourly forecast for today. It basically said 80% chance of light
rain first thing dropping to dry with 30% chance of light shower for
afternoon. It was heavy rain this morning which could clearly be seen on the
TV. BUT, I wonder what was their source for the forecast? I thought the UKMO
had said there was a weather warning for that area and they were on the edge
of some heavy stuff, at least. So I'm not sure if the comments were
justified - perhaps those nearer to that area could comment.
