This is true. I bet there are some folks around Angier that have had more than enough rain while your house in particular has had little. Its just assumed that every area has been hit by a storm if it's been in your vicinity. So not the case....

Yeah it's interesting how the mindset works its the same with snow.

I read one comment that stated they live in JoCo, they didn't receive any rain and her husband didn't water the plants either because of all the talk of rain... this stuff frustrates me. Some areas in JoCo got multiple inches, look at a radar every once in a while, look outside, figure it out stop blaming, good grief, I'll stop.

Didn't rain imby, but you don't see me fussin' at Tim Buckly. Not his fault it rained 5 miles away, but not on me.

Imbyism is getting out of hand and I hate it for TV mets who are particularly more exposed to the public. Additionally just water the damn plants you aren't going to hurt them if it rains. I had to get up at 230 and run outside and fight an owl to turn off the sprinklers this morning

I'mma need the full story now... How can you leave us hanging like this...
 
I'm just a geek who doesn't understand much of the scientific discussion at all, just enjoy following along as systems are tracked and forecasted.

That said, I've always been frustrated by forecasts that begin and end with "chance of rain is 50%". What's that really telling me?

What if they described the day using three percentages instead of one? 1- The chance it will rain at least .01 during the daylight hours; 2- The chance that it will rain for >3 hours during the daylight hours; 3- The chance of >.75" of rain during the daylight hours (and a separate set for night).

So 70% / 10% / 10% is a VERY different day than 70% / 70% / 50%.

I have an owl that has learned to turn on the flood light since its motion detected. He's a ----- and repeatedly sets it off runs away then comes back when it turns off to turn it back on. This in turn alerts my phone all night that there is motion

50% mean it either will or it won't. take a guess, you got a 50% chance of being right or wrong.

Currently 98*F at DFW and 100*F at KDAL.

Naturally, some cirrostratus did fill back in by late morning and has stuck around, but we still might be able to tag 100*F any way (it's not that thick or completely overcast).

It means that 50% of the viewing area is suppose to see rain … also means 50% will not
 
Very surprised at no flash flood warning. Storms have been training over this area southeast of Birmingham for a little while now.
