You may have heard the term "cutoff low" or seen posts about it this weekend on social media. What is a cutoff low, and how is it impacting our weather here in West Michigan? A cutoff low is a low pressure system in the upper atmosphere that has been cut off from the main jet stream flow. The jet stream is the fast wind stream that pushes weather systems from west to east in our part of the world. When a system gets cut off, it gets stuck where it is.
