Notably on September 22, 2.30 inches of rain fell at the KTEN studios in Denison, Texas from severe storms that pummeled North Texas.

Thankfully, the KTEN Weather Team alongside an amazing KTEN Engineering staff installed our new rain gauge on September 21 in order to accurately measure the amount of rain that fell from those storms.

Mid-September brought the first mini taste of fall to Texoma with nearly a week of below average temperatures. The heat returned to wrap up the end of the month with highs in the 90s.

With sizable amounts of rainfall in certain locations, the drought has improved for some. Nonetheless, we still need a lot more rain to finally say we are drought-free.
