SEPTEMBER FORECAST, 1898.


The disturbance starting the
latter part of August will have run
its course in the east about the Sd,
having reduced the temperature In
Its passage across tho continent.
After few days of pleasant, cool,
bracing weather a return Of the
heat will prevail, and local thunder
showers on the 9th and 9TH will DO
in transit, which then will reduce
tho temperature at their dispersion.
The next regular storm disturbed
period falls within the Autumnal
Eqninoctlal perturbations. Then
the transfer OF summer from the
north side of the globe to tho south
side brings on moro and wider
spread storms than usually prevail.
Tho ocean and the great inland
lakes and bays are largely subject
to an increase in the vigor OF these
abnormal disturbances. The nth
is tho center Of storm perion,
which will DO preceded by very
warm wave advancing from the
west and spreading over all sections
reaching the Atlantic coast about
the 10th. Rainfall will not accom-
pany tho wave generally in it's pas.
sage except locally. Hurricanes
and cyclones need not surprise in
the storm-belts. A cold wave will
follow the disturbance at all given
points on it's passage, reaching east
ern parts about tho 18th.
On the 10th and 18th local thun-
dor showers and storms Of wind will
prevail in many portions of tho
country. Starting about tho Goth
tho temperature will grow very
warm in the character of a hot wave
spreading over all sections, proceed
ing period of much disturbance
generally, centering on the 23d.
Areas subject to cyclonic visitations
should keep an open eye on the
dark and treatening clouds as they
loom mp above tho horizon. Navi-
gators on large bodies OF water
should be on the alert then too.
Many showers Of rain will most
likely change to sloet and snow
about the 23d or Gath, ending in
severe frosts on or about the nights
OF the 25th and 2eth. In central
and eastern parts the temperature
will be much reduced by O cold
wave advancing frem the north on
or about the 25th.
A renewal Of disturbances is most
likely TO prevail on the 18th and
10Th. September is not likely to
be prolific for excessive rainfall,
however, the month will not pass to
history without some showers.
October is also in the dry belt save
some few showers.
