How to Use the Weather Page

Last updated October 16, 2026 · Owners, dispatchers, crew leads

The Weather page puts the forecast next to your schedule. It tells you whether crews can do each kind of work over the next 12 hours, lists today’s and tomorrow’s visits the weather puts at risk, and lets you move a risky visit without leaving the page.

Find it at Schedule > Weather.

Where the location comes from

Your company’s ZIP code, set in Settings > Company Settings. The page header shows the location it is using and when the forecast was last updated. If it shows the wrong town, fix the company ZIP code rather than the page.

What is on the page

Weather alerts: when the National Weather Service has an active alert for your area (for example a winter storm warning), a banner at the top shows each alert, its severity, when it starts and ends, and a Show details link with the full text.

Right now: the current temperature, what it feels like, today’s high and low, plus wind (speed and direction), humidity, and precipitation in the last hour.

Field conditions: four kinds of work, each rated Good, Caution, or Hold for the next 12 hours, with the reason:

Work What it watches
Mowing and trimming Rain, snow, strong wind, frost
Spraying and fertilizing Rain that can wash product off, and wind over the 10 mph spray limit
Planting and irrigation Freezing temperatures, snow, heavy rain
Concrete and pavers Temperatures below 40°F, rain during the cure

Scheduled work and the weather: every open visit for today and tomorrow, across all crews, is checked against the forecast for its time window. A route stop with no set time is checked against the working day (7 AM to 5 PM). Visits that are already over for the day, completed, or skipped are left out.

  • The header pill says All clear or how many visits are at risk.
  • Each at-risk visit shows the day, the time (or Any time for a route stop), the job, customer and crew, a Caution or Hold badge, and the reason, for example “Rain chance up to 70%.”
  • Click the job name to open that visit’s page.
  • Click Reschedule to move it (see below).
  • Up to 25 visits are listed, soonest first. If there are more, the footer says how many are not shown, with a link to open the schedule.

Hourly forecast: a chart with Next 12 hours and Tomorrow (6 AM to 5 PM) tabs. It shows the temperature line, rain and snow chance bars, and wind speed. Wind over 10 mph is flagged in amber, because that is the limit for spraying.

Daily forecast: today and the next two days, each with conditions, rain chance, peak wind, and a bar showing the low to high temperature. Days with a chance of snow also show the expected snowfall in inches.

The Open schedule button at the top takes you to the calendar.

How a visit is rated

Caution Hold
Rain chance 30% or more 60% or more
Snow chance 20% or more 40% or more
Temperature 36°F or below (frost possible) 32°F or below (freezing)
Wind 20 mph or more 30 mph or more

The worst hour in the visit’s window decides the rating.

Reschedule a visit from the Weather page

  1. In Scheduled work and the weather, click Reschedule on the visit.
  2. The Reschedule window shows the job, property, and when it is now. Pick the Crew, Day, and (for a timed visit) Start time and Length. A route stop has no set time; the crew’s route order decides when it is done that day.
  3. Click Preview move. The window shows where the visit is moving from and to, anything that moves with it, and any warnings. Nothing is saved yet.
  4. Click Move visit. If the preview raised a warning, the button reads Move anyway instead.
  5. When it is done you see “The visit was moved.” with a View on calendar link.

If the visit is one date of a repeating visit, only that date moves. The rest of the series stays as it is.

How crews actually use it

Check the page the evening before, not the morning of. Moving a visit at 6 AM is a scramble; doing it at 5 PM the day before is a decision.

  • Read Field conditions before sending a spray crew out. Wind over 10 mph means drift, and rain within a few hours washes product off.
  • Work down the at-risk list. Hold visits are the ones to move first. Caution visits may just need to go earlier in the day; the hourly chart shows when the rain arrives.
  • Watch the snow chance from October. It is the early warning that a storm event is coming.
  • When rain wipes out a whole day for a route crew, use the Rain / Delay Shift on Route Management instead of moving visits one at a time.

If the weather does not load

  • “Please set your company zip code in Settings to view weather.”: add the ZIP code in Settings > Company Settings.
  • The forecast comes from an outside service and refreshes about every 15 minutes. If it is briefly unreachable, the page says so (“Unable to fetch weather data. Please try again later.”) rather than showing old numbers as if they were current.
  • If Scheduled work and the weather says “No open visits are scheduled for today or tomorrow”, there is nothing open on the calendar for those days.
