Synopsis for the Past Twenty.Four
Hours.
WASHINGTON, July 20, I P. M.-The
area of the lowest barometer, which
was on Wednesday over Delaware, has
moved northeast to the Bay Of Fundy,
and the barometer has risen very gen.
erallv from Illinois to the Gulf and to
New England. The pressure has fallen
somewhat this evening on the Gulf
coast. The barometer has fallen slight
" on the Middle Atlantic coast and
from Alabama to Louisiana, and north
ward to Illinois. Northwesterly winds
and clear or clearing weather prevail IN
the Middle and Eastern States and
westward to the Mississippi. Threat,
ening and rainy weather is reported
west OF Canada. Heavy rains have
been reported from Louisville to South
Carolina.
Probabilities 1T is probable that the
barometer will fall somewhat with the
threatening weather and rain by Thurs
day night from Georgia to Mississippi;
and that brisk northeasterly winds will
be extended. On Lake Superior and
Northern Michigan threatening wealth
er, with light rain, will prevail. The
clearing weather, with light rain, will
probably extend eastward to Lake
Michigan on Friday. Partially cloudy
and pleasant weather is probable for
the lower lakes and Ohio valley and
eastward to the Atlantic.
