APRIL WEATHER.
My calculations for April weathe
are more complete IN temperatur
than on rain. Temperature in tn
New England states will average abov
normal and rainfall below. Sout|
Atlantic states temperature below an
rain about oormal. The mouth Q
the James river | make the dividin
line between north and south Altar
tic states.
The Ohio valley and upper an
lower lakes low temperature and dr..
East gulf states low temperature an
average rain. West gulf states an
Lower Missouri valley high temper
ture and dry. Upper Mississippi va
ley average temperature and rain. L,
per Missouri valley and Red River
the North high temperature and dr.
North Pacific coast temperature al
rainfall above. South Pacific Goa
temperature and rainfall below.
The average path Of the April low
or storm c%enters, enters the Pacli
coast at mouth Of Columbia rive
passes about $50 miles north of Sa
Lake and Chicago, over south par
Of Newfoundland, Ireland and En-
land. During first half of comil
April the paths Of storm center W
principally lie north and the last hs
south of the average path describ'
above.
Following are about the norm
temperatures and rsinfalls for Apr
