Hard to imagine how the lake will be suffering this summer. We have not had a drought free summer it seems since the hurricane season of 2005.

it is interesting to note that all of the top dry mar-apr years at KATL equated to a normal or above precipitation pattern for may for the east in general and most of the SE

taking the top 5 years minus 2007 in the stats that dustin posted and rolling those years forward toward summer we get a very wet cool summer across the US. Just taking a glance at what they meant for hurricane season...gulf coast and east coast both took quite a few landfalling hits those years.

^looks like my forecast :)
