Someone recently told me, and swears by it, that the percentage given for rain is not the chance of rain but the amount of area that will receive rain, so that, e.g., 30% means 30% of the area will receive rain not that there's a 30% chance of rain. True or no?
@carolbean I wish I understood what that percentage meant, too. 30% of a period of time? 30% of an area? 30% of the time similar conditions will have rain? Who knows?
