Description:Operational meteorologists often express the likelihood of a meteorological event occurring during a forecast period by assigning the event a probability. This is done for two main reasons. First, the use of probabilities is a convenient way to deal with the inherent uncertainty involved in weather prediction. A forecast expressed in probabilistic terms can represent the forecaster's confidence in the forecast. Second, users require estimates of the likelihood of occurrence of weather events in order to make important weather-related decisions.
