Observations
Dry conditions with plenty of heat has helped with the drying of hay that was cut on Sunday and Monday. Soil moisture remains high, so added moisture overnight when temps dip should be expected.
Upcoming Week
Wednesday:
If you have hay that has already been cut on Sunday or Monday, Wednesday looks like the last day of low risk for getting rain on it, so if you are seeing still high moisture on Wednesday, consider working it several times with a tedder or a rake to keep it flipping, or consider wrapping it with the higher moisture content. Cutting anymore hay is not recommended.
WoolawayWx's Recommendation: Finish what you already have down, but do not cut anymore additional hay.
Thursday - Sunday:
It appears to be another repeat of the last few weeks again. While widespread confidence is low in terms of specific amounts and timing, additional amounts of 0.5 - 1.25" of rainfall is possible.
Below is a graphic for the rainfall amounts Tuesday evening through Friday evening.
WoolawayWx's Recommendation: Do not cut any hay though at least Friday, and then do a re-analysis.
