Do you know meteorological stuff? Shorthand on NOAA site . . . .
Please go here
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/NCZ047.php?warncounty=NCC055&city=Kill+Devil+Hills

It's the forecast for the Outer Banks, NC.

Look at the "Forecast at a Glance" --

Under the temp there's another number: "Pop: 30%" etc.

What is "Pop:" ??

Thanks

1. Kind of strange...
But, if you look down below in the text descriptions
those percentages are the same as the chance of rain.

I've never been birdwatching officially but I love them. I love animals. The outdoors. I miss working outside, too.
