Even though weather forcasting is far from perfect having a weatherman show me what weather pattern is 3-4 states west of me is more accurate than my gut feeling. Chance of precipitation is only part of it; cloud cover, temperature, wind speed and direction, and humidity all play into hay drying. That being said I look at upto 4 different independent forcasts in the following order: weather.com, NWS, accuweather, and intellicast and if 2or 3 agree and I like what they say I"ll cut hay. Around here tv weather forcasts are geared toward beach travellers and are useless. Here on the east coast I wouldn"t cut with that forcast, partly cloudy and east wind doesn"t dry hay here. You"re in a different part of the country so maybe an east wind is a drying wind. I finished third cut alfalfa 2 weeks ago and it dried in 2 days when it normally takes 4. Light hay, no soil moisture, very little plant moisture, and decent drying conditions. Beautiful hay, just not enough of it.
