Yeah they predicted that NYC and other low lying cities would be under water by now...I take it with a grain of salt.

The NOAA is a .gov entity, so I'm preparing for the worst.

Weather during a 6 month period is reasonably predictable

The climate 50 years in the future is not so easy

Is that why most of the time there is a 50/50 chance of precipitation?

You do know that a 50% chance of rain means that 50% of the covered area will see rain, not that there is a 50% chance it will rain on the whole area. There is a difference.

It will be interesting to watch and see which of these come the closest. They are very different.

Stormy with an 80% chance of Covid

Excellent. All I know is I've played a helluva lotta golf in Nov, Dec, and Jan the last 5 yrs

Hopefully half the planet burns to a crisp so I can tee off in Feb, Mar, and April

I still remember as a kid in Austin TX when 9 saw it raining across the street from me but not where I was.

Not all that rare. I was working Flight Clearance at Kadena AFB in Okinawa and one of our jobs was to check for standing water on the runways during rain storms. We had parallel runways and there were many times when one had standing water and one was dry .

just seems freaky to be on the edge of rain. i mean, it has to stop raining somewhere and as soon as it does, situation created. every time i suppose. but it stood out to me when i was like 7 or 8 as just one of those odd things you remember.

Does that in Florida also. Run out of one rain cloud and into another within a mile or so.

Not in my part of the country

We tend to have long dry spells

NOAA lost all its credibility after they got caught fabricating climate change data a few years ago.

Just like NASA.

When I was stationed in Panama monsoon season was interesting. You could watch a what looked like a wall of water coming towards you, as it got halfway across the canal it would obliterate any view of Panama City. When it reached you it would almost be like being underwater, if you were standing on concrete or any other hard surface the up spray from the rain hitting the surface would completely obscure your lower half from the waist down. If it missed you you could be standing almost next to it and only the up spray would get you wet.

Not to mention Virga......... Virga is where it's raining but evaporating before it hits the ground.
