September is a transitional month for us in the Red River Valley as we go from the warmth of
summer quickly to the chill of autumn. 
Last month we indeed had days that felt both like July and November. 

Taken as a whole, September 2007 finished 2.6
degrees above average, thanks mainly to the four 90 degree days we experienced
during the month (we average one).  You
take away those four hot days and the rest of the month was average or even
slightly below average for temperatures.  

The month also finished above average for
rainfall, but most of our rain occurred during two events, one on September 8,
the other on September 20 and 21.   Of
course, it was the last thunderstorm on the 21^st that not only
brought us rain, but probably the most memorable event of the entire month,
baseball sized hail early that morning.
