Moderate drought conditions developed in September in the southern tip of Illinois, generally south of a line from Carbondale to Harrisburg. Far southern Illinois experienced an abnormally dry month, ranking in the top 10 driest Septembers on record. Some areas from Carbondale southward struggled to pick up an inch of rain the entire month. At Carbondale, September was the 9th driest September on record. The monthly rainfall at Carbondale was 0.69 inch, which resulted in a deficit of 2.16 inches below normal. Field and brush fire danger increased as grass turned brown. Bans on outdoor burning were initiated in a couple of counties by the end of the month. The dry weather occurred too late to have a major impact on crop yields. Crops were nearing harvest when the drought developed.

A band of thunderstorms containing rainfall rates up to two inches per hour trained over parts of southwest Indiana. The storms produced some urban flash flooding. The storms intensified during the heat of the day ahead of a 500 mb shortwave trough drifting eastward toward the Ohio River Valley. A tropical air mass was firmly entrenched, with precipitable water values well above the 90th percentile for early September. Effective vertical wind shear from 20 to 25 knots resulted in loosely organized bands of storms. The mean steering flow was parallel to the synoptic forcing, which caused training of the bands of storms with heavy rainfall.

Unseasonably warm temperatures, strong wind gusts, and very low humidity combined with dormant, drought-stricken fuels to promote conditions that supported the rapid spread of wildfire across portions of southeastern Oklahoma during late September. Numerous wildfires occurred across the region during this period, but the largest fires affected Pushmataha County, where over 4000 acres were burned. These fires continued to burn into early October.

Northwesterly flow aloft aided in pushing a cold front southward into the region on the afternoon of September 25th. Despite only weak upper-level support, frontal forcing was sufficient to generate scattered convection along the frontal boundary during the afternoon. The atmosphere was relatively uncapped, and with afternoon temperatures climbing into the mid 90s, moderate surface-based instability developed. However, a lack of deep layer moisture appeared to be a limiting factor for any severe weather although classic inverted-V forecast soundings indicated the potential for isolated damaging wind gusts from thunderstorm downbursts in the afternoon. Moisture proved to be sufficient for storms to rapidly develop by mid to late afternoon, quickly accelerating southward and producing sporadic damaging wind gusts across parts of McCurtain County Oklahoma.

A cold front over the Tennessee River Valley shifted southeastward into the region. This setup caused the flow to shift to south-southwesterly through the day maintaining the moist (PWATs 2-2.2 in.) airmass over the area. Scattered to numerous showers and storms developed along the sea breezes as they shifted inland. The Atlantic sea breeze was pinned to the Atlantic coast due to south-southwesterly flow resulting in the merger near I-95 in the evening. About 3 inches of rain fell over northern Duval county. Also, heavy rainfall which occurred over the previous couple of days caused minor flooding along the St. Mary���s river. A thunderstorm passed over a portion of the river bringing another batch of heavy rain which resulted in the river flooding extending into the nearby road leading to the road���s closure.

Multiple months of near to below normal rainfall along with sandy soils in the region led to widespread D0 and D1 drought conditions in the tier of counties along the South Shore of Lake Superior. After a heavy rain event over part of the area early in the month, conditions trended drier for the remainder of the month and led to the introduction of a few areas of D2 Severe Drought across parts of Ashland, Bayfield and Douglas counties during the middle of the month and persisted into October.

Total rainfall for the month of September ended up normal with most of the monthly total coming in one day when 2 inches were recorded at the Ashland Airport on the 9th. However, this was not enough to prevent the area of D2 Severe Drought from being introduced a week later and then persisting into October.
