I found out recently that those percentages actually mean 80% of the local AREA would have rain and 20% would not. Meaning if there is a chance of rain in your town at all it’s likely raining somewhere even if it’s just a tiny drop or two.
So if you don’t want to get wet at all bring an umbrella if the chance is over 0%.
Source: was talking to a meteorologist about this exact thing.
Stopped reading when he mentioned he OWNS 31 McDonalds in NYC area and that his dad was a Wall Street broker.
That don’t sound like work to me.
