RAIN FALL
Glendora Random Weather Fact
Terms such as "slight chance" of rain (10-20%), "chance" of rain (30-50%) or rain "likely" (60-70%) are used when there is uncertainty of receiving measurable precipitation anywhere in the forecast area (such as the Greater Los Angeles Area). For instance, if there is only a 30-50 percent chance that rain will fall anywhere in the San Jose area, then the forecast will call for a "chance" of rain.
