THE PRO EXPERIENCE
Plan each site, protect the full window and keep the evidence.
YOUR SAMPLE PLAN
Example company settings: 40% rain probability, 18 mph gusts and 45–95°F. Task: Spray exterior coating · Apply coating. These are not manufacturer limits or universal work thresholds. Customize your own settings in the real app.
Rain probability is outside your selected tolerance in this forecast interval.
EXACT-PRODUCT SAMPLE
MADE FOR YOUR TRADE
Save a separate start and finish for each elevation and product coat.
Hourly precipitation probability 10%. Probability does not supply rain amount or minute-level arrival. An overlapping 1-hour forecast accumulation contains 0.00 in; it is not the amount for each hour or an exact onset time.
Sequence smaller elevations so the last brush stroke still has the selected coating's rain-resistance window. Include gutters and splashback above fresh paint.
Forecast sustained wind 8 mph; gusts 14 mph. Work-height conditions and equipment limits still need a check.
For spraying, check application-height wind and downwind cars, plants and adjoining property. Consider brush or roller work where the product permits; gusts also move masking.
Forecast humidity 67%; dew point 64°F. Neither measures substrate moisture or the surface margin above dew point.
Record wall temperature and its margin above dew point. Humidity can extend drying; touch-dry paint does not establish recoat or rain resistance.
Forecast air 78–79°F. Surface and material temperatures need their own readings.
Compare air, wall and paint temperatures with the exact base and formulation. Keep checking shaded walls and the required overnight period.
Forecast sky: Sun and clouds. Actual wall, pavement and work-area exposure still needs an on-site check.
Move around the building by actual wall exposure. Measure sun-heated siding before coating; a sunny forecast does not tell you the wall temperature.
Complete observed rainfall for the preceding 24 hours is unavailable. Future forecasts and nearby station snapshots cannot establish site recovery.
After rain or pressure washing, inspect joints and porous areas and measure wood moisture where required. Elapsed dry hours alone do not establish readiness.
A complete heat-index series is unavailable for this window. Review air temperature, humidity, actual exposure and the crew's heat procedure.
Plan shaded prep and ground work around the crew's heat procedure; ladders, protective clothing and exposed walls change the workload.
