Also realize that the forecast is made usually for a widespread area, such as an entire county or counties depending on how that office does it.* So if storms are expected to be scattered in nature, such that only 1 storm going through the forecast zone is expected.* Only 30-50% of the area in that forecast zone will receive precipation and thus only a 30-50% PoP is expected.
