That's the prediction of the National Weather Service in Lincoln. After an August in parts of Illinois with zero 90-degree days, NWS Meteorologist in Lincoln, Chris Miller, says September should remain in that trend.

 

 

August saw less than normal rainfall and much cooler temperatures. Miller says precipitation in Illinois has been sporadic and indicates there are areas with enough and then right down the road with not enough.

 

 

Miller says the long term outlook could change if another tropical storm like Harvey pops up. He says remnants from those often times can eliminate any drought conditions happening over a given period of time.
