Weather day on the schedule says what happened — the day and the weather — for one job or every active job, and shows what it means before anything moves. Only stages set to stop for that weather and being worked that day, or due to start in the mud after it, are stopped; their remaining work resumes on the first working day after the day itself plus the stage's dry-out days. Stages linked behind them move with them; stages under a roof keep going; later stages that aren't linked are listed, with a switch to move those too; a booked stage is never moved, only flagged; and a stage that has already started or finished is history — nothing linked to it re-dates it. The day is recorded on the job — who logged it and every stage it moved — so Undo puts them back — except a stage someone has moved by hand since. A crew's Blocked → Weather from the field stays what it was: a fact the office hears about. Moving the plan is the office's decision, made here. Built exclusively for post-frame and barndominium builders, whose shells live in the weather and whose interiors don't.

Only the stages that weather stops
Try itEach stage lists the weather it can't work through, on its building type or on the job. Log Rain and dirt work and the pour stop while the electrician inside keeps going; log Wind and the steel stops while the slab doesn't. A rain on a Saturday the crew doesn't work costs nothing, and a finished stage is never reopened.
A rain day pushed the whole job a day, including the interior plan review that happened in the office.
The PM logs what happened and the schedule works out what it really cost, stage by stage — without pushing the trades that worked through it.
Dry-out days after the rain
Try itRain, snow or flooding can cost more than the day itself. A stage's dry-out days keep it stopped for that many working days after — the ground a pad or post holes need before equipment goes back on. A stage due to start inside that window starts after it. You set the number per stage; it starts at 0.
The excavator was booked the morning after a downpour and sat on the trailer.
The schedule reflects the mud, not just the rain, so Wednesday's start isn't promised on Tuesday night when everyone knows the site will still be soup.
What's linked behind it follows — and nothing else
Try itStages that wait on a stopped stage move with it, through the same rules as any other change: a gap left on purpose is kept, calendar-day cure time stays calendar days, and a booked stage is never moved — the preview says it now clashes. A linked stage that has already started or finished is history and stays where it is. Later stages that aren't linked are named, with Move later stages that aren't linked too for a job that has no links yet.
After the rain day, the cabinets were still scheduled for the week the drywall was now going up.
A weather day uses the same dependency rules as everything else on the schedule, so there is one way dates move, not two.
See it before it moves, undo it after
Try itNothing moves until you press Log it: the preview shows each job's finish date before and after. The logged day is kept on the job's Dependency map — date, weather, the note, who logged it and every stage it moved — and Undo puts those stages back. A stage someone has moved by hand since stays where they put it, and you're told which.
Somebody logged Thursday's storm on Wednesday, and nobody could remember where the stages had been.
A weather day logged on the wrong date or the wrong job is a two-second fix, not an afternoon of dragging bars back.
The crew reports it; the office decides
Try itA foreman's Blocked → Weather from the field still does what it always did: tells the office right away and records the stoppage against the stage, feeding delay reporting and the site weather record. It never moves the plan. Moving dates — and promising the customer a new finish — stays with the person who logs the weather day.
A crew member's weather tap pushed a completion date the owner had already given the customer.
A tap at 7am in the rain shouldn't quietly re-promise a customer's move-in date. The field reports the fact; the office makes the call with the whole schedule in front of them.

A rained-out day ripples across every job lined up behind it, and the PM spends the evening on the phone re-dating stages by hand — including interior work the rain never touched. The schedule now knows which stages each kind of weather stops and what waits on them, so a weather day is entered once and the dates that should move, move.
- Re-dating every stage by hand after a rain day
- Interior work pushed for weather that never touched it
- Booked subs and cranes quietly re-dated by the software
