If the weather man says "it's a 50% chance of rain" does that mean he has no idea if its going to rain or not?

Actually what that means is that they put all the data into a computer about the temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, etc... and compare that to all the data from each day for... say the last 100 years. They take all the days that had all the same variables that match this day and out of all the days that were the same, it rained 50% of those days. That's why there is a 50% chance of rain.

i heard a weatherman say that what this really means is that there is a 100% chance that it will rain on 50% of the area that station covers.

My bones tell me what the weather is going to be like, the weatherman is full of crap 90% of the time, I trust myself reporting first.
By the way today here is one hell of a nice hot day, so everyone get out and enjoy it.
Have a good one. Dave

He has a 50% chance of being right - which is more than usual!

The weather man has no idea what the weather is in general.
