When your point is having to correct people on what PoP is, it couldn't hurt to get it correct in thread title eh? "Chance of rain" instead of PoP would need no explanation.

In the Los Angeles county area it's highly weighted to predict rain falling on the wealthy west side crowd. For other areas, it's always wrong.
It also depends on who is on deck at the NWS. Some weeks the seasoned guys are on vacation and the substitute guy claims the sky is opening up in the next 24-48 hrs. Regular gets back from vacation and the forecast (and discussion) goes back to normal, which is taking the models with a huge grain of salt.

Wrong assumption buddy. I wasn't trying to correct anyone, just pointing out how they derive PoP. Of course I prfer the correct abbreviation.
