A dry morning is a window to inspect.
Read a fictional hourly rainfall window, then decide what still needs to be checked in the field.
Illustrated walkthrough · example data. These are teaching panels, not a recording of the application. Invented forecast for an unnamed example field. No live forecast was fetched. The time blocks, rainfall and work rate are teaching inputs; this is an illustrated walkthrough, not a forecast screenshot.

Name the job
An 80-acre example field needs planting. Start with the operation and the hours you could actually work.

Read the hourly window
In this invented timeline, Tuesday morning has no forecast rainfall; 0.40 inch appears in the 2–6 p.m. block.
Look beyond the daily summary
- 0:24–0:36
Check how long the job takes
At the assumed 20 acres per hour, planting takes four operating hours before additional delays. This is teaching arithmetic, not an app scheduler.
80 ÷ 20 = 4 hours
- 0:36–0:48
Inspect the soil
Use the forecast to prioritize a field visit. Check the seedbed, moisture and drainage; dry forecast hours do not prove trafficability.

Recheck before starting
Review the latest forecast near the start. Leave room for delays and a change in rain timing.
