Seriously though it was claiming it was raining out from 9am to 1pm when it was clear and sunny and hot

How are we meant to trust weather forecasts when they can't even correctly say what weather is in the present
in which area do you wish it to be accurate? a region? a city? a city block? what time of day? going by the tone of your post, you must realize the dynamics behind cloud formation - ie. if the conditions are there for showers, then they can form anywhere in a given area.

it amazes me that people assume that "rain" equals overcast from horizon to horizon and for the rest of the region that they live in. i was once watching discrete thunderstorm cells spawning in the hauraki gulf from atop mt eden, on an otherwise cloudless night, and a number of people came up to my group and asked "what is that!?". when we said thunderstorms, they couldnt believe us.. "but its not raining here!". nuff said.
