Cucurbit Downy Mildew Forecast

Weather - Central & Eastern U.S. / southern Canada: Showers in the Southeast; dry elsewhere. An upper-level disturbance drifting around the Southeast will produce showers in that region with the best chance toward the Atlantic coast each day. High pressure centered in southern Canada will govern the weather elsewhere. Expect sunny to partly cloudy skies and little to no rain. A developing storm system in the West will be moving into the Plains by Sunday; some rain will be creeping toward that area. Unseasonably warm most locations, with Highs mostly 70's and 80's.
