chance of rain

Possible wet forecast

Chance of rain is a weather forecast term expressing the probability of precipitation occurring in a given area during a specified time period.

A 30 percent chance of rain means precipitation is expected to fall somewhere in the forecast area about three times out of ten such weather situations.

The phrase often appears in planning conversations: What's the chance of rain tomorrow?
