| Mase2020 wrote: | in U.S. weather forecasting, POP is the probability that more than 1/100th of an inch of precipitation will fall in a single spot, averaged over the forecast area.[1] For instance, if there is a 100% probability of rain covering one side of a city, and a 0% probability of rain on the other side of the city, the POP would be 50%. A 50% chance of a rainstorm covering the entire city would also lead to a POP of 50%.
Note that the POP measure is meaningless unless it is associated with a period of time. U.S. forecasts commonly use POP defined over 12-hour periods (POP12), though 6-hour periods (POP6) and other measures are also published.
Terms typically in weather forecasts based on POP:
0% No mention of precipitation
10% No mention of precipitation, or isolated/slight chance
20% Isolated/slight chance
30% (Widely) scattered/chance
40% or 50% Scattered/chance
60% or 70% Numerous/likely
80%, 90% or 100% No additional modifiers (i.e. "showers and thunderstorms") |
So, you think that it won't rain, Alan?

I plan on attending this Kayak tourment. I will not be compeating, just fishing. I hope to meet a few new Kayak fishermen and fish this new to me spot. I'm looking forward to it. -Duncan

I'll be there regardless of forecast. Rain should keep the pleasure boaters away.

I mean pleasure boaters who can potentially create an undesirable wake.

This might be a crazy request that cannot be met, but does anyone have an extra pfd that can fit a large man like myself but will not be as cumbersome as draping a small bear around your chest? I have one, but I think if I have to wear it for 6-7 hours my chances of drowning myself will be far greater than drowning from falling in without one. On an unrelated note, if I were to blow up a balloon to tie on each arm this would count as a pfd right??

Sorry, Stephan, but Ryan beat you to my spare PFD. Although even a child sized PFD would probably fit his pecless bod. . . .

I'm bringing cow for everyone to eat. If you don't eat cow, sorry. 
Bring drinks, though. And remember, alcoholic beverages are prohibited at the boat launch.
