Did you spray fertilizer or insecticide, or fungicide in the heat of the day?

It looks like target leaf spot from your pictures. Compare with this diagnoses page and see what you think. While your at the site, look at all it has to offer. It's a great site for trying to diagnose plant problems.

Could be mite damage. Do you use Sevin?

I sprayed the plant down with some Eight two nights ago and it actually does appear that the problems spread has slowed almost to a halt. I didn't notice till yesterday but the affected area just happens to be the part of the plant closest to my corn stalks, which seems to be a hot spot for a number of different bugs. I guess all it took was for me to miss a spot during a previous spray to contract something from one of them. ghopson, thanks for the link, that'll probably come in handy in the future. Could mites help spread target leaf spot if thats what it is?
