Default Met Office website forecasts

Does anyone know why the Met Office weather forecasts are so
skitzophrenic? I refer to pages like this one
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html

Quite often they will, for example, show heavy rain for Thursday all
the way up until Thursday morning, at which time it will suddenly turn
to bright sunshine all day! The final forecast on the actual day often
tallies more with what has actually been forecast at the end of BBC
news throughout most of the week.

Does the MetO website use some sort of automation to make these
forecasts on the website, perhaps based on not very accurate models?

Simon
