explanation.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
ct station indicate maximum temperature for the
days; those underneath it, If any, the amount Of
rainfall OF melted snow in inches and hundredths,
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid
lines, connect points of equal air pressure; iso-
therms, or 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 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: but when
the .low Is inclosed with isobars of marked curya-
ture rain south of Oregon is improbable. With =
'high' in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure
falling TO the California coast, weather may
be expected in summer and colder weather in win
