I don't think I want to be holding on to something metal if there is going to an electrical storm. I also don't want to get pelted in the head with a chunck of ice. On the flat lands of the prarie you could see these things coming from 3 miles off. Here in the hills you can't see it till it is on top of you. tg I was going to work on a chain link fence.

The article said we're going to get rain, and on a whole that's true, but if the forecast is correct, more people won't get rain than those who do.

So, it is more than likely that it will NOT rain. Yes, a forty percent chance of rain means that in one hundred days with conditions exactly like this, it rained during forty of those days.

So your house could get x minutes of rain on Saturday, and we might not get any, the forecast is still correct, though we got no rain but you did.
