Washington, August 4, 1871, 7:39 p M.
SYNOPSIS OF THE PAST TwENTY-FoUR HOURS.
The barometer has fallen on the Pacific
coast since Thursday 2. NJ. The low ba-
rometer, which then extended from Lakes
Ontario to Superior, has moved southeast
ward, and the pressure has diminished de-
cidedly on the South Atlantic and Gulf
States The winds have remained south
west ON the Atlantic coast and thence
westward to Lake Erie and Missouri.
Northwesterly winds have prevailed today
north and west of Illinois. The tempera-
ture has increased somewhat in the Eastern
States, and has remained quite warm in the
Ohio valley and Southwark, but has fallen
in the Northwest. Cloudiness has increased
in the Southern and Gulf States, although
light rain has been reported from but one
station. Local rain and threatening weather
are now very generally reported from
Illinois eastward to West Virginia, and
thence to New England and the lower
lakes.
PROBABILITIES.
The area of threatening weather, with
local rains, will probably extend south
eastward, and prevail on Saturday, from
to Florida. The area
of lowest barometer viii probably
pass over Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts, with heavy rains. The se-
verest local storms are probable for Vir-
ginia and Maryland. Cool, clearing up
weather is probable for Saturday north and
west of Kentucky and on the lower lakes.
Southerly winds with rain is probable for
the Gulf coast.
