EXPLANATION.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
At station indicate maximum temperature for the
days: those underneath it, If any, the amount oi
rainfall, of melted snow in inches and hundredths
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid
lines, connect pon 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 10 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 "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 to the California coast,
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter. The Of these conditions
