Hold: rain
Rain likely at 1:00 PM (75% chance). There isn't time to work and still leave 6 hours for wrap and protection before it (shop rule).

Job mode: Unspecified. The stricter New / full construction rules apply until a mode is saved.
Weather need for Concrete flatwork - driveways, patios & sidewalks: Watch conditions that dry fresh concrete quickly and plan cold-weather protection through curing.
New/full placement needs accepted subgrade, mix delivery and a curing/strength-monitoring plan for the complete slab.
Shop rule: the default freeze check keeps forecast air at least 32°F for 48 hours from the start of placement and keeps rain off for 6 hours after finishing. Fresh concrete must be protected from freezing until it reaches about 500 psi; forecast air does not measure strength.
40°F air is an unheated-placement planning default. An approved cold-weather plan must establish actual concrete and base conditions; the forecast never verifies strength or curing completion.
Estimate evaporation only with actual concrete temperature plus air, humidity and work-height wind. Dry/windy conditions require the placement's evaporation-control plan; crew heat is advisory.
Saw joints when actual set and edge-raveling checks permit; record strength evidence before traffic release.
Assumptions (8) and sources
- Company ruleWrap buffer of 30 minutes is your company rule.
- Field check neededAssumes this shop rule condition is met at start: Confirm subgrade is not frozen before placing concrete. Check at arrival.
- Field check neededAssumes this shop rule condition is met at start: Remove standing water and inspect the base before placing concrete. Check at arrival.
- Field check neededAssumes this shop rule condition is met at start: Confirm rain protection, monitored curing and freeze protection through the specified strength milestone. Check at arrival.
- Field check neededAssumes this shop rule condition is met at start: New/full concrete: record accepted base, approved mix, joint layout and monitored curing/strength plan. Check at arrival.
- Shop ruleShop rule: rain-free 6 hours after the last application.
- Shop ruleShop rule: minimum air temperature of 40°F for concrete flatwork - driveways, patios & sidewalks.
- Forecast timingAssumes the forecast issued 0 minutes ago is still current. Official forecasts are reissued at least twice a day and sooner when weather changes; a forecast older than 13 hours is treated as stale.
- Shop ruleForecast air at least 32°F for 48 hours from start
