The chance for rain at 5 pm is very high in the early morning, but then it decreases as the time gets closer to 5 pm. It almost never increases. It happens so often that I believe that the forecasters are intentionally publishing a higher chance for rain in the morning than the data actually suggests. Has anyone else noticed this trend and is there a logical explanation?

Same here, sprinkling this morning, wasn't feeling great, cancelled golf due to large cloud on the radar moving towards TV. . . no rain since 8 AM. . wife is irritated that I cancelled for rain and none happened. .
that forecast also caused my sprinkler to weather delay for rain most of the summer.
Rain actually came for a few minutes at 6PM. . . light and not the flood TWC was predicting. .
