In Winchester area, rains from May 22-23 resulted in ~19 hours of wetness with an average temperature in lower 60’s. We had 5-6 hours of dry period, then another rains went through the area, starting around 5PM last night. Relative humidity remained high (>90%) until around 5AM this morning, thus it was about 12 hours of wetness. Average temperature was again in low 60F. Both were infection events for Phomopsis and black rot. A total precipitation of the last three days was about 0.7 inches. Also, in the last few days, night time temperatures were warm (in 60’s) and relative humidity were high, thus, these could be downy mildew sporulation events as well.
