Condition Monitoring Star of the Week, May 3rd-11th - Buncombe County, NC

Our Condition Monitoring Star of the Week is station number NC-BC-62 who posted the following report on May 9th. We chose this report because it let's us know about moisture conditions in their community and the ways it affects multiple groups.  Their report also highlights how broader weather conditions maybe affecting the local economy.  Nice job NC-BC-62!

Above average temperatures in the low normal precipitation has created a hot dry dusty spring. Tourists are returning and the farmers markets are opening and produce is scarce and at a premium. Pollen counts are high and gardeners are using supplemental watering to get their spring starts going.
