explanation.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top fgurea
at station indicate maximum temperature for the
days; those underneath it, IL any, the amount of
rainfall, OF melted snow in inches and hundredths
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, solid
lines, connect points of equal air pressure; iso-
therms, dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word "high" means high barometric pressure and
Is usually accompanied by fair weather; "low
refers to low pressure and is usually preceded and
accompanied by cloudy weather and rains. Lows
usually first appear the Washington coast.
When the pressure Is high in the interior and low
along the coast, and the isobars extend north and
south along the coast, rain is probable; but when
the 'ow'' is incGosed with isobars of marked curva
ture rain south of Oregon is improbable. With s
"high' in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure
falling to the California coast, warmer weather may
be expected in summer and colder weather in win
ter. The reverse OF these conditions will produce
Al oDposite resulf.
