EXPLANATION

The arrow flies with the wind The top fig ures at station indicate minimum temperature for the days; those underneath it, if any the amount or rainfall or of melted snow in inches and hundredths during the past twelve hours, Isobars, CT solid lines, connect points of equal air pressure; isotherms, dotted lines, equal ternperature- The word high means high barometric pressure and Is usually accompanied by fair weather: low refers to low pres sure and is usually preceded and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains. Lows usually first appear on tine 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 Tow" is inclosed with sobars of marked curvature rain south of Oregon is i'm probable With a high in the vicinity of Idaho and the pressure falling to the Cali- fornia coast warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result.
