> I think that's why the lines jump from .24 or .6 to 1.0(recession) and then back below .24.

None of the curves ever go to 1. The main curve ("spread only") never even reaches 0.4.

They certainly shouldn't be saying that, since the curve being at that level means precisely that the probability of recession is 0.24, not 1.
