Default Drywall safe to store outside in shelter?

I have a handful of drywall sheets that I will be installing in an
upstairs bedroom. There is no room to store it near the project, so I
put it on my front porch and covered it with several blue tarps. The
porch is sheltered from the rain, although if there is a really heavy
windy rain a little might blow in.

Will this be a problem for the drywall?


Can't tell from here, but even a little water will give the mold
spores (they're everywhere) an opportunity to start growing. Little
*******s!

Keep it dry. I'd have it standing up leaning against the house and as
far from the rain as possible. It should also be up on some wood
blocks so it's not sitting on the porch floor. It'll stay drier and
it's easier to pick up.
