FORECAST DISCUSSION: Wednesday, March 14: *** Threat once again to northern FL and southeast GA today and Thursday *** Trajectories from western Cuba will move over or near northern FL during the next two days. Conditions for survivable transport of spores should be unfavorable each day. However, the arrival of any airborne spores may coincide with expected rain events, and persistent wind flows toward the U.S. are a source of concern. Moderate Risk for growers in northern FL and southeast GA Wednesday and Thursday. Elsewhere.... trajectories from the other sources do not threaten any growing areas for the next two days.
