Determine if a more accurate way to determine threshold levels for precipitation is by calculating the evaporation rate.

Goal would be to ultimately evaluate two conditions: is it about to rain, or did it previously rain enough?

Need to anecdotally verify that this approach works.

This approach doesn't really work - during hot days turfgrass will actually accelerate water loss (not prevent it). To calculate this impact created #18

Until we can approximate total water loss, will come up with some other made up factor from observation. A Terf Nerf value, if you will.
