• Note: Make sure you are adding the specific weather details BEFORE you check “Weather Delay”. See the screenshot below.
• Once you select “Yes” under “Weather Delay” an email is generated to the “Weather Delay (via email)” default email notifications group notifying them of the weather delay.
  

2. Attach the following backup to the “Observed Weather Conditions” when selecting a weather delay:

• Photos from the site visualizing the delay.
• Rain Gauge photo.
• NOAA weather report from that day from NOAA Weather
  

3. In the comments section, the critical path activity impacted by this delay MUST be specifically noted.

4. Owner’s should be notified of weather delays within 24 hours or less.

RESPONSIBILITY: PROJECT MANAGER
1. Make sure that all necessary recipients are selected under the “Default Email Notifications Weather Delay (via email)” per project. Ensure the contractual point of contact is included on this list.
