Here in Tucson they say 60/70/60% chance of rain today/tonight/tomorrow afternoon respectively all the time during out monsoon season. And it does not rain. It is as if predicting rain increases their ratings or advertising revenue or something. As the math in the article shows, it is VERY unlikely that it won't rain. I have watched them be totally wrong, day after day for over a decade. The break it down town by town, city by city. I ONLY pay attention to where I live, Tucson. Oh it rains in Bisbee, Nogales, Sierra Vista, Green Valley, Oro Valley, Safford, Lukeville, Benson, Ajo and Willcox. But as I watch the precipitation radar, it dissipates, or goes AROUND Tucson. After years and years, the local news weather meteorologists still can't get it through their heads that there is a heat dome over Tucson that diverts rain unless there is so much moisture in the air it condenses like water on a glass of lemonade.
After it DOES'T rain over and over again, nary a "oops, we were wrong again" statement.
