I have a Centipede lawn and it is starting to grow with this warm weather. Should I apply any sort of chemicals now? And if so what should I apply? TIA

I'd wait another few weeks at least. I'm no guru though.

You really should wait. You don't wanna encourage the grass to come out of dormancy faster than it already is. If we were to get a freeze it will hurt the new growth.
What is the weed situation?

I take it you live around Baton Rouge. It's a little early to worry about fertilizer. March would be fine. Use a complete 1-1-1. Slow release would be good.
The Scott's weed and feed is most probably a preemergent pesticide. I don't know the chemical in it. So you have to apply it before any weed seed germinates or it won't do any good. Timing is based on soil temp and number of days above a certain temp. You will have to read the label to figure out when you need to apply it.
In general weed and feeds are convenient but the pesticide needs to be put out before the fertilizer.

Too early for W and F, wait until April for better results.Your lawn is only growing during daylight hours right now,so W and F is not a good idea right now.Best thing to do is just mow it for now, the good grass will catch up in a couple months.

for those wanting to learn more about their lawns, I recommend this book. It has a lot of great info, everything from fertilizing to how to cut designs in your grass
