Weather forecast VS actual rain

Mattol@discuss.tchncs.de to Science@beehaw.org – 23 points –

This is a screenshot of my weather app showing forecasted (smooth blue/purple) rain of the French Arome model VS rain radar (sharp green/yellow contours). It actually does a pretty good job on the large scale but the details aren't always quite right. Dies anyone know how rain probabilities are computed from these models instead of fixed predictions?

Glad you explained the photo. For a minute there I thought the 'shrooms were kicking in.
