Best time of year put grass seed down is actually mid September and the entire month of October (better than the spring). The cool season allows them to grow a strong root system. So as long as its not raining it would be a great time to put it down.
Worst months to seed are dead of winter, followed by heat of July and August.

okay, so thanks to putting in a pool and a bad tree job; i have some areas in desperate need of seed. it looks to me like its getting close to time to put it down. im thinking in about 2 weeks. what say you?
No sooner than two weeks. Watch the extended forecast. A bit later would probably be better.

Grass seed thrown down before a late winter snow grows. Look at winter sowing. It's worked for me.
Depends entirely on where you live and the climate.
this is the NJ forum.
sprinkler guy came today and told me that i am overwatering my lawn. so ive just been peeing money away. i had reduced the watering after i did some seeding and i though things were going well. i dont know, im happy to water less.
If you don't mind dormant yellow grass in the winter (but very lush, low-maintenance 7-8 months out of the year) you can plant zoysia plugs. I did the second week of September '16. It woke up aggressively that following spring. It self spreads and self repairs (slowly), but is aggressive. The big drawback is it being a warm-season type it'll go dormant in the cooler months.
Just a reminder for people who want great summer lawns. Right now is the prime time to do your lawn.
im supposed to do my lawn now? wont the neighbors complain?
