Hmm I'm no meteorologist, but perhaps I can point you in the right direction. Our weather models are still far from perfect - we lack the capability to 100% reliably predict when rain will occur. Instead, I think that when you see a 50% chance of rain on your weather forecast, what that means is - when a day like today occurs, there is a 50% chance that it will be raining. Meteorologists do this by taking a look at all of the various conditions: temperature, humidity, etc. that affect weather, and seeing if they correlate with rainy days.
