Default Probability of Rainfall?

If the weather forcast says we have a 50% chance of rain today, and a
40% chance of rain tomorrow, what is the chance that we will have rain
during that 48 hour period? And what is the probability that we will
have rain each day during that 48 hour period?

I've tried:

P(A||B) = A + B - A * B; # Is this approach right or wrong?

P(A&&B) = (A + B) / 2;

Please, help so that I may better understand what our weather man is
really saying!
