Is 1.7mm of rain a lot?

Will it rain on a lot on saturday?

• it says 80 percent chance of rain in the pm and then on sunday 50 percent chance same with monday. does this mean that it will rain all day. cause we havent gotten rain in a week or two

• Answer:

  An 80% chance of rain does not mean it will rain 80% of the time. An 80% chance of rain means each point in the forecast area has an 80% chance of getting measurable precipitation (at least 0.01") during the forecast period. It also implies 80% of the forecast area will observe measurable precipitation.
