South Central Illinois
We are seeing high temperatures around 80° now. Seems like the WaterHemp typically waits until maybe April 10 to emerge. Our average last Frost date is April 13. Seems like 80° temperatures in March would convince it to germinate this year. Although it probably will never get killed by a frost. How far South do we have to go to find emerging WaterHemp?
