The relatively dry weather pattern that began in some parts of Iowa in July continued across northern Iowa in September with the far northeastern corner of the state now classified as being in moderate drought.   However, three tropical weather systems brought abundant moisture to southeastern Iowa during the first half of the month.   The remnants of Hurricane Gustav, which made landfall in Louisiana, brought rain to about the southeast half of the state on the 3rd-4th with up to 2.5 inches of rain in the extreme southeast corner of Iowa.   Tropical Storm Lowell, an eastern Pacific storm, brought copious amounts of moisture across northwestern Mexico and rain to the southeast two-thirds of Iowa on the 12th-13th.   Rainfall associated with Lowell caused substantial flooding in southeastern Iowa where more than 7 inches fell in Van Buren, Henry and Lee counties.   Finally, the remnants of Hurricane Ike, which made landfall in Texas, brought an inch or two of rain to the extreme southeast corner of Iowa on the 13th-14th.  Flooding occurred along the Chariton River and along Cedar Creek.  The flooding was relatively minor and limited to agricultural lands for the most part.
