ok...it says chances of showers.....now I never knew the difference, so we might be ok for Saturday....I looked up the difference between showers and rain....here is what I got:
Today on "Weather Talk," we are tackling questions regarding some of the wording used in NWS weather forecasts.
When we talk about rainfall, we usually refer to it as being either showers or rain. If we are forecasting showers, we expect the rain to fall on an intermittent basis and from cumulus-type clouds. The showers may vary greatly in intensity over just a few minutes or a few miles. For example, lets say that the forecast for today is calling for a chance of showers. That means that if the rain does develop, it will be on and off, rather scattered, may vary in intensity over just a couple of minutes, and fall from cumulus-type clouds.
If the forecast for today called for rain, it means we expect the rain to fall rather steadily and from a flat, stratus-type of cloud, and won't change much in intensity from hour to hour. It also means that the rain will fall over a fairly large area, not like showers, which usually fall over smaller areas.
