Blue Mold Forecasts for 1999

• Executive Summary
• Extended Chronological Summary
• Table of First Reports from each State/County

The scheduling and production of blue mold forecasts depend upon the spatial spread of source sites as the epidemic progresses. They will be issued three times per week and more frequently during peak epidemic spread. Each forecast includes descriptions of factors pertinent to the disease situation, a general outlook assessing the risk of disease development, and a map showing the flow away from an active area or region (i.e., a cluster of closely-grouped counties) with a single, centrally-located trajectory.

The maps show the motion of a floating particle that is released into the atmosphere on the date and time given in the second line of the map headings. The release time is in Universal Time on a 24-hour clock, and will be set to correspond to about 10AM local time. A green dot denotes the starting point for the trajectory (exact latitude and longitude are written along the left-hand side of the map). In the headings, the SECOND line has the start date and time for the forecast trajectory.
