Yup it got dry here as well.

We had 7" of rain three weeks ago today. Nothing since.

I had reworked a piece of the lawn after that 7" dryout and the new grass did not come very well.

It had been raining about every 4 days or less all summer, as soon as I plant something that needs a little rain it quits.

Is There any moisture left in the soil?

If your gonna put the seed out there go over it lightly with the field cultivator (2" deep) after spreading the seed if there is any moisture at all. You would be surprised at how much moisture comes up to the surface at nite to start the seed.
