Wait 5

Weather reports lack granularity
They say a day is rainy - what of that?
Seattle has, with regularity,
Half, or quarter, days of rain, which flat
Contradict, for half or more the day
The bland report that claims the rain is here
Yet overcast would also not repay
The forecaster, who would pay very dear
For every drop of rain that chanced to fall.
No, no, we need a forecast that can tell
The day drips slowly, but the rain is small,
Sometimes the sun breaks through. Or not. Oh well.
Such a forecast I propose to name
Seattle-like: when all is not the same.
