I understand that weather on TV can’t be hyperlocally accurate. But a weather app on my phone has my exact GPS coordinates. Why can’t it tell me exactly when a rain cloud will be passing over my location?
It’s gotten to the point where I just use precipitation maps to figure out my rain chances for the day.
The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.
Isn’t that virtually the same thing as a 50% chance of rain at my position though?
Yeah…
And it wants a definitive answer for the exact location they’re standing in…
Which isn’t possible
Yeah, kind of. It’s going to rain. That’s the forecast. That rain will effect half of the area in their forecast range.
That’s not how that works
