SYNOPSIS OF THE PAST TwENrY-FoUR HOURS.
The barometer has fallen since Friday
evening along the entire Atlantic coast,
with partially cloudy and hazy weather:
The highest pressure still remains between
New Jersey and North Carolina. The low
barometer which was in Missouri, has moved
very slowly northeast; brisk southerly
winds, with cloud and rain, attended it
from Eastern Missouri to Michigan, and
cold northwest winds, with snow, are re-
ported from the Missouri valley. The tenn
perature has risen decidedly from the mid
die Atlantic States to Missouri; cloudiness
has increased in the Southern States with
northeast winds, and in the Gulf States
with southeast winds. Southwest winds,
with threatening weather, extend from Ten
nessee to Lake Ontario.
PROBABILITIES.
The area of lowest pressure will probably
move tonight over Lake Michigan, pre-
ceded by brisk south winds, and extend to
Lakes Huron and Erie. On Sunday,
threatening weather with rain will proba-
bly, prevail from the Ohio valley to Yer
mont and northward. Cloudy weather on
the South Atlantic and gulf coast, with
easterly winds. Threatening weather. and
possibly rain, for middle and east Atlantic
coast.
