Weather prediction can be difficult at best; because of this, forecasts are often wrong. Hence weathermen are woefully mistreated, with the public reacting to them as if they were astrologers predicting the future (even though either one of them could in theory claim superiority: a weather forecast is usually quite specific and with these specifics, the weatherman tends to be accurate; the astrologer tends to be vague, allowing one to interpret their predictions to match actual events).
The forecast called for a strong cold front to come in during the morning and bring in a heavy rain. We are getting that rain right now. There is no thunder or lightning, but the rain is coming down fast and furious, and the storm has brought a heavy wind with it. I’ve decided to stay inside (at least as long as the storm continues) and study at home today. If it clears up this afternoon, I might go out for a bit to get some coffee at that time.
