    AUSTIN (KXAN) — The newest outlook for September’s weather from the Climate Prediction Center paints an optimistic picture in the rainfall department after a drier than normal August, despite some showers on the final days of the month.

    The temperature outlook for September is warmer than normal for almost all of Texas and about half of the Continental United States.
