Google "early blight in tomatoes" and look at the images. Brown spots with yellow halos are as symptom.

Look for sunken cankers on the stem.
Has the fruit been affected?

nothing on the fruits but its showing on a couple of plants only on the foliage. i guess skipping my exel and actinovate for 1 week was enough. what a bummer. i sprayed this morning but did not remove foliage yet due to the wet conditions

I was thinking early blight too and I have it on a few plants. Some varieties seem more susceptible to it than others. At least it is a slow moving condition and you should be able to get all of your fruits without too much difficulty before frost in this area.
