FORECAST DISCUSSION: Friday, April 7: *** Most growers will be at Low Risk this weekend. *** The one bothersome feature is a cold front that will be moving through the southern and eastern U.S. on Saturday. Conditions will be somewhat favorable for disease development near the source in northern Florida. Moderate Risk for growers in northern FL, southeast GA, and coastal counties of SC on Saturday. Otherwise..... sunny, dry weather will prevail near all the known sources, with Low Risk to growers each day.
