The hot and dry pattern of August lingered into much of September.  The hottest weather was during the first 10 days of the month.  Readings in the 90s were common across the lowlands.  Parkersburg had high temperature records of 97 degrees on the 7th, then 96 degrees on both the 8th and 9th.  In the southern mountains, Beckley set or tied 5 daily record high temperatures during early September.  By the second and third weeks of the month, drought conditions were surfacing.  The remnants of Hurricane Isodore helped to generate widespread rains of 1 to 2 inches on the 26th and 27th.  The rain combined with cooler temperatures, to increase surface water flows and reduce stress to the late season vegetation.
