Hourly Precipitation in the Weather App??

Is the percentage precipitation in the hourly weather forecast a percentage chance of rain or is it saying what percentage of the area (city) is going to receive rain in that hour?


This is a hotly debated issue amongst our friends, so please weigh in with facts or thoughts.

I always considered it the probability (chance) of precipitation that can occur.


On Apple's "Check the weather on iPhone" page it's mentioned "chance of precipitation":

Moreover, DarkSky, which has been acquired by Apple to enhance Weather app, indicates "probability":
