during the past twelve hours. lsobars, solid
lines, connect poin of equal air pressure; iso-
therms dotted lines equal temperature. The
word ''high" means high bsrometric pressure and
is usually accom- panied by fair weather slow
refers to low pressure and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
Lows" us ally first appear on the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast, and the isobsrs extend
north and south along the coast, rain is probable;
but when the ''low'' is inclosed with sobars of
marked curvature, rain south OF Oregon is improb-
able. With "high" in he vicinity Of Idaho and
the pressure falling the California warmer
weather may be expected summer and colder
weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions
