FORECAST DISCUSSION: Monday, April 12: *** No long-range threats the next two days *** Conditions near the various source regions are unfavorable for survivable transport and trajectories do not approach any major growing areas. Localized disease development is also unlikely. Continued dry weather and very cool nighttime temperatures in the southeast United States should help keep disease activity to a minimum in that region. Low Risk to growers Monday and Tuesday. TK
