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.
CanopyOpen 6%
Little tree cover means full sun and wind, so these trails are among the fastest to rebound after rain.
