At least out to 7-10 days. Looks like there will be a nice cool opener for turkey season. Any refined data yet BSK for the temps for the next cool spell?

Definitely below normal low temps off and on for the next two weeks. But at least I don't think we're going to see the hard freezes I was worried about earlier.

Glad to see the cool temps myself. Got a couple more ladder stands to put up. ;)

Now that I've become a runner, I HATE summer! My body can't take humidity.

I would still keep an eye on the cold snap forecast for next weekend (Apr 9-10). It could produce near freezing temps.

Unfortunately, mid to late April is forecast to be above to much above normal temps.

The forecast models are now suggesting mid to low 20s for morning temp for Saturday, April 9 in East TN, upper 20s for Middle TN, near freezing West TN.

A lot of the native wildflowers actually do better if they go through a cold period, helps with germination. But I drill a lot of the stuff I do, we usually start in Feb and don't stop til the end of May. I have some big fields that will be broadcasted soon and they will be fine. If you would've planted several weeks ago and had sprouts by now, then they wouldn't do well by getting hit by the cold, especially the annuals in the mix. The perennials are a lot tougher. Just make sure when you broadcast that you have almost 100% dirt exposed, and go back over it with a cultipacker or something that will kind of mash it down a little bit.
