Downy Mildew

I'm in Alpharetta GA and I'm pretty sure my entire heirloom cucurbit crop has been plagued by downy mildew. The pics I've seen online of it more closely match what I see on my plants than any other disease, pest, infection, etc. I don't water overhead, but we have had a lot of early heat and pop-up thunderstorms which end up keeping the leaves wet.

Now that my plants are infected, is there anything I can do to save them? I'd like to avoid chemical fungicides if at all possible but will use them as a last resort. I sprayed the tops and bottoms of the leaves with neem oil today. Is there anything else I can do?
