Danestress Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 If I look at the weatherchannel.com and see a 30% chance of rain for, say, the pm hours, does that mean that in any given place within that zip code there is a 30% chance of rain? OR does it mean that there is a 30% chance it will rain somewhere in that area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH_Homeschooler Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hmm, I remember hearing a long time ago that it means that in the past, it rained on 30% of the days that had similar conditions than what is being forecasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
