GENERALLY, SEPTEMBER OFTEN BEGINS THE TRANSITION FROM THE HOT, DRY
SUMMER SEASON AND THE WETTER, COOLER FALL AND WINTER SEASONS IN
MEDFORD. THIS SEPTEMBER WAS NO DIFFERENT. THE MONTH STARTED OUT HOT
AND DRY WITH A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE AND ASSOCIATED THERMAL TROUGH
THAT LINGERED THROUGH THE FIRST 10 DAYS OF THE MONTH. THIS RESULTED
IN TEMPERATURES THAT REACHED INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS ON 4 OF THE
FIRST 6 DAYS OF THE MONTH. MEANWHILE, HIGH TEMPERATURES REMAINED IN
THE 90S THROUGH THE 10TH. THEN, THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH TRANSITIONED
QUICKLY INTO A COOLER AND A BIT WETTER OF A PERIOD WITH A SERIES OF
LOWS AND ASSOCIATED FRONTS THAT PASSED THROUGH SOUTHERN OREGON AND
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. AND WHILE THIS BROUGHT WETTING RAINS TO MUCH OF
SOUTHERN OREGON AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, MEDFORD MISSED OUT ON MOST
OF IT, EXCEPT FOR SOME LIGHT RAIN. MEANWHILE, HIGH TEMPERATURES WERE
IN THE 70S TO LOW 80S THROUGH THE 18TH. AFTER THAT, CONDITIONS
WARMED BACK UP AND DRIED BACK OUT. THE THERMAL TROUGH BROUGHT
TEMPERATURES NEAR THE CENTURY MARK ONCE AGAIN ON THE 24TH, BUT DID
NOT SURPASS IT. AT THE END OF THE MONTH, A FEW DRY FRONTS MODERATED
TEMPERATURES AND BROUGHT BREEZIER WINDS TO THE AREA WITH NO
MEASUREABLE RAIN.
