Is Springtime Ever Okay to Over-seed a Cool Weather Grass

I have an 20' x 20' grass area that is in pretty bad shape.

The grass is very thin and weedy; along with that the soil is not very good.

I realize the early fall is the ideal time to try and establish a cool season lawn (zone 5).

With that said; is it okay to bring in some good lawn soil and try to start a lawn from seed now or should I wait until August / September?

If I wait, is there anything I can do between now and then to improve the area? i.e. fertilize etc...

Thanks
