Thrips/TSWV Western San Joaquin Co.

General situation with apologies to everyone, we're a little late getting underway this season - a combination of a family health emergency and international travel to an epidemiology workshop.

General situation After a slow, late start to the season, summer has finally arrived and is staying. Western San Joaquin will see temperatures building over the next few days and settling into an extended period with 100+ highs.

General Situation After the wet winter and extended cool spring, the annual summer weather pattern finally seems to have established itself. Temperatures for the next 10 days will see daily maximum values in the mid 70's to 80F, reaching the mid 80's by the first few days of June.

General situation We're a little later than normal kicking off this season's projections for thrips, but the season is off to a slow start so we're not in too bad a position. It's still cold overnight.

General situation: The main season crop is in the ground and mostly well-established in the northern end of the San Joaquin Valley. The next 10 days is forecast to range from the high 70's to mid 90's, which is ideal conditions for thrips to develop.
