How we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilNot surveyed

Soil survey data does not reach this spot, so the drying model assumes middle-of-the-road ground rather than guessing at a soil type. Everything else in this forecast is measured, but expect the drying estimate here to be less precise than at networks with surveyed soil.

CanopyDense 70%

Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.

TerrainHolds water

Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
