WASHINGTON, ID. e., May 4, 1872, 10 ain.
SYNOPSIS FOR PAST TwENTY-FOUR HOT RS
The lowest barometer has moved eaStwardIy
from Lake Huron TO New England, and cloudy
weather with light rains is now prevailing over
The northern portion of the latter and northern
New York. Otherwise clear weather very gene
rally. The highest barometer extends from
Michigan 10 Tennessee. 1T has fallen over the
northwest with eastcrly to southeTly winds.
Clear weather has continued at San Francisco,
but partially cloudy at San Diego and Portland,
oregon. The river has continued rising at St.
LOuis.
PEOBABILITIEs.-Rising barometer will pre-
vail over the south Atlantic, middle, and New
England states with nOrthwesterlv winds and
Gear and clearing weather. The latter will con-
tinue from the upper lakes to the gulf. The
barometer will probably continue falling over
the northwest with easterlv to sOutherly winds
and extend eastward over the upper lake re zion
and TO the Ohio valley. An area of low baromp-
ter Is apparently advancing eastward toward
Minnesota and Iowa. Dangerous winds are not
ANTICIPATED except possibly for Lakes Superior
and Michigan.
