The month of September continued the Exceptional Drought conditions across much of Northwest Louisiana.  The only exception to this was the effects of Tropical Storm Lee which made landfall across the south central and southeast Louisiana coast during the morning of September 4th.  The storm generated enough rainfall across Caldwell and La Salle Parishes in East Central Louisiana for these two parishes to lose their drought classification on September 5th.
The following are a few selected cities across Northern Louisiana with their September rainfall totals and departures from normal as well as the 2011 rainfall totals and departures from normal.
