This method has been used for years within National Weather Service forecasts, as a period's chance of rain equals the chance that 0.01 inches (0.25 mm) will fall in any particular spot. [16] In this case, it is known as probability of precipitation. These probabilities can be derived from a deterministic forecast using computer post-processing.
Texas could be getting more rain. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , the movement of trade winds over the Pacific Ocean results in different weather patterns. Dr.
The probability of precipitation can also be expressed using descriptive terms instead of numerical values. For instance, the NWS might describe a precipitation forecast with terms such as "slight chance" meaning 20% certainty and "scattered" meaning 30–50% areal coverage. [10] The precise meaning of these terms varies. [11]
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott activated state emergency-response resources earlier in the day anticipating the "increased severe weather threat" across the eastern half of the state.
[1] [2] [3] The Weather Channel has been empirically shown, and has also admitted, to having a wet bias in the case of low probability of precipitation (for instance, a 5% probability may be reported as a 20% probability) but not at high probabilities of precipitation (so a 60% probability will be reported as a 60% probability). Some local ...
