FORECAST DISCUSSION: Wednesday, May 19: *** All sources are Low Threats Wednesday and Thursday *** The weak front moving through the southeast U.S. won't change the current disease situation. Little to no rain is expected near the source region, survivable transport of spores is unlikely, and trajectories move away from the growing areas. Low Risk to growers. Conditions near the other source regions are unfavorable also, and they don't present a threat to any other growing areas for the next two days. TK

***** NOTE: These forecasts/outlooks only apply to disease development from airborne transport of spores!!! We do not have the capability to ascertain blue mold development by other means, such as transplanting of infected seedlings, nor will we attempt to do so. Please consult the Extension Service personnel in your area if you have concerns about these matters! *****
