It's offical: the Asheville Citizen-Times reports that Western North Carolina is now in a "mild drought"
You only need to follow the link above for checking Davidson River stream flows to get a nice, graphic picture of what's happening right now: afternoon thunderstorms punch up the flow, which subsides as soon as the storms have passed. But the trend--unfortunately--is for lower and lower stream levels as waters reside after a T-storm passes.
These storms also cool the water down a bit, which is a good thing considering the heat wave we've been suffering through for last couple of weeks. The good news is that's supposed to come to an end over the next couple of days, with temps back in the low-to-mid 80's in our future
Midges, Yellow Sallies (14's and 16's), and terrestrials are the ticket now.
