Below normal precipitation in September helped to continue the drought across southern Wisconsin.  Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms, mainly during the early part of the month, brought between 0.5 inch and 3 inches of rain to southern Wisconsin for the month, but monthly deficits ranged from around 0.5 inch to between 2 and 3 inches. This increased the yearly precipitation deficits to between 5 and 9 inches.  By the end of September a slight improvement in the drought was observed over the southeastern counties which went from D2 (severe) down to D1 (moderate), or from D3 (extreme) down to D2 (severe).  This trend is reflected in the attached image.  The extreme heat from earlier in the summer did not continue into September, with monthly average temperatures at or a bit below normal.  Agricultural experts indicated that crop yields would be reduced.

The fire threatened numerous resource concerns, such as oil and gas well locations, cultural resources, threatened and endangered species, and the Wild Horse range. However, the only losses were to three unoccupied tents and two camper units. The fire was halted within a mile of a farm residence near De Beque.
After more than three weeks void of strong thunderstorms anywhere in South Central Nebraska, this Sunday evening featured a cluster of strong to marginally severe storms that drifted south through far western portions of the area, primarily affecting Dawson, Gosper and Furnas counties. The strongest of these multicell storms impacted western Dawson County as it shifted south out of Custer County between 630-730 PM CDT, dropping quarter size hail near Cozad. This storm weakened below severe limits as it moved south of Interstate 80. Although a few other strong storms briefly flared up across parts of Gosper and Furnas counties during the ensuing few hours, none of these became severe, and all thunderstorms exited the area into northwest Kansas by 945 PM CDT. This activity focused along a well-defined surface trough, which also defined a narrow north-south instability axis where surface dewpoints pooled into the low-mid 50s F. The flow aloft in the mid-upper levels was northerly, and contained weak embedded shortwave troughs in between two much stronger disturbances, one centered near the OK/AR border and the other diving out of Canada into the Northern Plains. Around the time of the quarter size hail near Cozad, mesoscale parameters were marginally supportive of severe storms, featuring around 1000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE but only 25 knots of 0-6 kilometer vertical wind shear.
