Models are in good agreement for a clear week with progressively warmer temperatures. You should have an opportunity this week to get in the fields and work before another disturbance affects the Delta Sunday Night/Monday. Below is a forecast graphic for Early next week. You can see a Cold Front just to our West.

A few more Surface Observation stations have recently gone online in the Mississippi Delta. This may be especially useful for you when monitoring wind conditions for Spraying. You can see the Surface observations here: http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/surface/displaySfc.php?region=lit&endDate=20110405&endTime=-1&duration=0

Forecast graphic below depicts Warm Air Advection from the Gulf Friday night. With a Low deepening to our west and the flow off the Gulf of Mexico, this won't last long without some showers which are expected early next week.
