EXPLANATION.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
Ct station indicate maximum Temperature for the
days; those underneath il, il any, the amount Of
rainfall, Of melted snow in inches and hund redths
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid
lines, connect points of equal air pressure; so-
therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word "htgh" means high barometric pressure and
Is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather; Glow"
refers to low pressure and Is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
Lows" usually first appear on the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast, and the sobars extend
north and south along the coast rain is probable
hut when The "low" is incloSed with isobars OF
marked curvature, rain south OF Oregon is improb-
able With thigh" in the vicinity of Idaho, and
the pressure falling the California coast warmer
weather may be expected summer and colder
weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions
WIZ produce an opposite result.
