A forecast that says, for instance, "there is a 10% chance of rain tomorrow," means that on 10 out of 100 days with weather conditions very similar to the conditions expected tomorrow, at least a trace of train has occurred.
Some will disagree with this answer for various reasons. For the results of research that evaluated how understanding of percentage chance of precipitation varies around the world, see "A 30% Chance of Rain Tomorrow: How Does the Public Understand Probabilistic Weather Forecasts?," available as a PDF file via the URL http://www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/en/mitarbeiter/gigerenzer/pdfs/RainFinal.pdf .
No, 40% chance of rain is How Likely it is to rain for that day,or week. Not Area. LOL
thirteen sixteenths.
A thirty percent chance is a low probability, so it probably won't rain, but it could.
No. A 60% chance of rain means exactly what it sounds like: there is a 60% chance that it will rain. This also means that there is a 40% chance that it will not rain.
Not neccessarily, there's a 20% chance it can rain.
A 40 percent chance of rain means that there is a probability of 40 percent that it will rain. It is not a guarantee that rain will occur, but rather an estimation of the likelihood.

A 40 percent chance of rain means that it is slightly more likely that there will not be rain. Sixty percent chance of rain is the opposite. It is slightly more likely that it will rain than not.

Probably not
in percentage it is just equal to 100- percent of no chance of rain on thrusday
A 30 percent chance of rain means there is a 3 in 10 chance it will rain in the specified area. It does not indicate the amount of rain that may fall, only the likelihood of precipitation occurring.
No. A 60% chance of rain means exactly what it sounds like: there is a 60% chance that it will rain. This also means that there is a 40% chance that it will not rain.
It means that it will probably rain.
0.20 + 0.80*0.80
You don't know. Theres a 50/50 chance that it will and then a 50/50 chance that it won't.
