Do they means scattered over the area or scattered throughout the day?

Actually the term "scattered thunderstorms" can mean both, scattered around the area, and scattered throughout the day. Sometimes with upper air disturbances can be hard to predict exactly what is going to happen, and where it will happen. Even with all of the recent advances in forecasting (which really isnt forecasting anymore), mteorology is still largely a guessing game.

Conditions are good for thunderstorms to create throughout the day. A system of storms may be traveling towards your area, but it is spotted on the doppler giving you scattered thunderstorms

They mean scattered over the area. Over a large area can be multiple thunderstorms separated by sunny skies.

Scattered as in here there and everywhere and also sometime during the day.
In other words the forecasters haven't a clue what they are on about......as usual

30 to 50 or 60 percent sky coverage.

It means they have no clue of whether or not they will occur, but they may -- so they cover their bets this way.
