marked storm conditions from the LIST

barometeric readings in western sec.
tons, high temperature and winds
easterly and southerly. While the storm
areas are advancing from western ex-
tremes, warm fair weather Will prevail
in central and eastern sections, but the
storm centers will progress steadily
eastward, and by the 9Th all sections
will have had more or less storm or
storminess, or will have felt the changes
of barometer and temperature conse.
quent upon the passage OF general
storms.
Marked equinoctial disturbance will
most likely appear along the southern
coast at this time, in which event
rapid and general high barometer will
follow disturbances Inland from north
west, causing cool, northerly winds
over most of the country until southerr
disturbances pass to the North Atlantic.
From about the Sth TO 10Th, a general

The worst disturbances of this period
will not transpire until about Thurs
