Showers? Few Showers? Light Rain? - I need help from FL Residents.

[Winka]

I'm looking at weather.com for Orlando weather and these technical meteorological terms are confusing me. The picture icons look the same but we go from descriptions that read, "Few Showers" to "Showers" to "Light Rain"...what's the diff?

Can any Orlando resident (or Orlando-area res) tell me what kind of weather you're REALLY expecting this weekend?

Thanks.

Hi
first off, it is not rain. It's liquid sunshine.
Today it was cloudy in the morning. This afternoon we had light rain. Now at 3:50pm the rain has stopped, still cloudy. 61º.

The rain comes in bands lately.
I'm on the west coast in the Tampa area, 100 miles WSW of WDW.

Liquid sunshine...ok.

Well, whatever you call it, looks like we're going to get LOTS of it this weekend.
