VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I always wondered about that since I was a kid And even though I've spent many years "on the air" I never actually knew... until now. And I don't like it. Basically... If I'm 100% sure measurable precipitation will fall on 25% of my listening area, I'll say "a 25% chance of rain" (instead of "SOME of you WILL get rain"). If I'm 25% sure it will fall on 100% of the area, I'll say "a 25% chance of rain" (instead of "ALL of you MIGHT get rain"). If I'm 50% sure it will fall on 50% of the area, I'll say "a 25% chance of rain" (instead of "I don't really have a clue"). http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2008Aug01/0,4670,AskAP,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
