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?

No different here than anywhere else we have lived, seems like they guess at what might happen, if it does they look great if not, oh well things changed in the upper atmosphere!
