Monday, flows for the Ocmulgee River through Macon were at 1,010 cubic feet per second. This compares to an average flow of 3,510 for this time of year, he said. The record low flow for the Ocmulgee is 804 cubic feet. The big difference is that at least during planting season we had moisture. Pastures are in much better shape than they were last year.
Lawns are in much better shape.
But I don't expect that to last. The outlook for May doesn't offer much hope. Normal rainfall totals for May are 3.57 inches. Nor does the news look any better heading into the summer months. Right now the outlook for the summertime is above normal temperatures.
