The weather forecast says snow is likely today what's the probability of the snow?

Question

30%

50%

60%

80%

Answer 1

I guess it depends on where the weather forecast originates.  If it's the National Weather Service, they use 60% as the minimum threshold for "likely."  Technically though, anything over 50% would be likely, as even if there's a 51% chance of snow, then it's "likely," with a 49% chance (less of a chance) of no snow.

So again, it depends on how the source of the forecast defines "likely."

Answer 2

Are you in the UK?  If you listen to BBC they say one thing, go to ITV & you sometimes get a different forecast. Anyway back to the question, I'd say 30%, but what do I know?
