The lowest soil temperature recorded last night at Rocky Mount was 64.5°F, while the highest soil temperature was 81.5°F. The weather appears favorable for the upcoming week. As you can see below, there are a couple of days where the night temperatures could fall into the low 50s or high 40s. It would be a good idea to check soil temperatures before planting.
We advise you use the Cotton Planting Conditions Calculator to find local information for you area. We recommend you check this often as condition change.
The longer term NOAH forecast from May 8 to 11 is leaning toward above normal temperatures.
