The NWS gets around this in their tabular forecasts by placing a
qualitative description in the precip block. Their tabular forecasts
are experimental and aren't used in all regions. BWI is using it,

Note that they differentiate between rain and thunder.

I think they'd find when verifying these forecasts that those hourly PoP's
are much too high also. Most summertime rain is showers - how many hours of
a day does that verify correctly?
