FORECAST SUMMARY : Tuesday, October 9:
*** (25 September) Trajectories are unavailable for the short-term future *** Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) (the branch of NOAA from whom we get our forecast trajectories) is moving to a system in which their users must be registered. Registration may take up to two weeks but will likely be sooner. During this time, trajectories will be unavailable for our Cucurbit Downy Mildew forecasts. We will continue to post a regional weather description. As soon as trajectories can be obtained we will return to a more normal format for the forecasts.
*** Dry weather is expected around nearly all of the known sources Tuesday and Wednesday. *** During the past few days (including this morning), the season's first frosts and freezes occurred largely as expected..... over the northern Ohio Valley, Appalachian Mountains, upper mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast. The disease season should be over for these areas. High pressure will govern the weather over the eastern U.S. today and Wednesday. Unfavorable conditions are anticipated. A cold front is gathering itself in the Plains today and will begin moving eastward. Its effects will be felt in the Great Lakes southward through the MS River Valley by late Wednesday.
