Chance of rain from the ensemble models

ECMWF (51 scenarios)	100%	2%	7%	40%	8%	14%	4%
GFS (GEFS, 31 scenarios)	98%	0%	6%	55%	23%	23%	2%

Each model's day runs midnight to midnight local time; models that reach fewer days are left blank. Rain: daily total. Wind: the day's highest average wind and, in small type, the strongest gust. Highlighted: values that stand out from the rest. The chance of rain comes from many runs of the same model with slightly different starting data.
