Jim,
look up Virga.
Just cause it ain't raining on the ground, doesn't mean it ain't raining.

If still not happy, try the old screwed up piece of paper on the window sill.

If it's not there it's windy
If its wet, it's probably been raining.
100% accurate, every time. Or you could spend the money on your own 3kw storm radar if it's that important to you.
Of course this all depends on whether you want to be part of the solution or part of the problem.

I think they do a great job most of the time.
There we go, another 5mins of my life I won't get Back :-)
