SYNOPSIS OF THE PAST TwENTY-FoUR HOURS.
The rain which prevailed Monday fore
noon in Nebraska and northward is now
confined to Iowa, and the barometer has
risen in Minnesota. The area of high pres
sure which was then advancing upon New
England, now extends to Michigan and
North Carolina, and the low barometer
which was of the coast of South Carolina
has been apparently pushed TO the South
west.
The temperature has been highest to-day
in Tennessee and southwark Fresh and
brisk winds in the northeast and southeast
have prevailed along the Atlantic coast.
Cloudy and threatening weather has cleared
away from the Middle and Eastern States,
but continues with rain from Nortl~Caro-
lima to Florida. Telegraphic communication
with southern Florida is not yet restored,
but it is believed a severe storm must be in
progress off its northeastern coast. Smoky
and haZy weather continues from Lakes
Erie and Michigan southwark to Alabama
and Texas, and the barometer has fallen
during the day decidedly from Lake Ontario
TO Michigan. s ~
PROBABILITIES.
The light local storms are probable for to-
night in Illinois and westward, and an area
of low barometer, with threatening weather.
will be developed over the lower lakes.
Rising barometer, with easterly winds, will
probably continue on the middle Atlantic
coast. Cloudy and threatening weather
will probably continue ON Wednesday in
the South Atlantic States, with increasing
cloudiness southwark to Texas, and severe
storm on the Georgia coast.
