If a weather forecast calls for intermittent rain, when should you expect to see rain?

On and off throughout the day, especially as you move from place to place.

Explanation:

Intermittent rain means that of the area the forecaster is focusing on, some of it is covered with rain clouds. As the clouds move, or as you move through the city, rain will pass over you occasionally.
