FORECAST DISCUSSION: Friday, May 14: *** All sources are Low Threats this weekend *** Trajectories from the various source areas don't approach any other growing regions. Skies near the sources are expected to be sunny to partly cloudy each day, so spore survival is unlikely, and there's little to no chance of rain near the sources or along the forecast paths. Low Risk to growers through the weekend. TK

***** NOTE: These forecasts/outlooks only apply to disease development from airborne transport of spores!!!

Please consult the Extension Service personnel in your area if you have concerns about these matters! *****
