So if they weatherman says there is a 100% chance of rain and there are only a few drops he can't claim vindication.

Whether you should water or not has as much to do with how dry it has been as whether some rain might fall.

How does such a forecast Enable me to know Whether I should water my plants or not?<br /><br />Again, I apologize for Siri's stupid capitalization scheme. gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-66631475918105892552013-05-18T14:54:48.299-04:002013-05-18T14:54:48.299-04:00Gene, Gene, Gene.

Bob Murphy can explain to you why that means it's no longer pertinent.<br />So much for your crushing argument that weather forecasts are vague bafflegab based on loose and unclear terms.<br /><br />The technical answer is that it's the chance anyone in the zone of the prediction will get rained on, which could be that 30% of the zone gets rain or that all the zone gets rain 3/10 days. These of course are very different things, but that's just part of the fun.<br /><br />http://feedback.weather.com/knowledgebase/articles/24439-weather-com-what-do-the-different-percentages-of-Ken Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976919713907046171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-52018233365227287012013-05-18T14:36:07.124-04:002013-05-18T14:36:07.124-04:00Google-fu: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ffc/?n=popGoogle-fu: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ffc/?n=popJohn Goeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00206464455510064541noreply@blogger.com
