I've always wondered about this:

What does it mean when "X percent chance of rain" is predicted?

Trust "The Straight Dope" to answer the questions we've all been asking (but not so loudly as to call attention to ourselves!)

That's funny...I heard somewhere that the percentage is actually how much of the area will get rain... Say 50% chance of rain means 50% of the area will get rain...
