Someone sent the above zone forcast to me. It was for his location's Zone Forecast during one of the recent Northeast storms. He asked: What exactly does this forecast mean for me?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My answer was that it says there's a chance of rain, or snow, or drizzle, or freezing drizzle, or sleet during the rest of the night, and that with all this plethora of possible precipitation types there's an 80% chance that 0.01" of precipitation will occur. I may be wrong, but I think that the grid pont forecasts may drive the Zone Forecast wording, leading to this somewhat confusing forecast.
