Weather conditions and general forecast
The thirteenth consecutive day of abnormal
ly cold weather in the central valleys of the
West and Northwest has been marked by
some moderation in the Ohio and upper
Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys, al
though the temperatures in these districts
still remain in the neighborhood of zero.
In the middle Atlantic States the wave has
continued with undiminished severity, par
ticularly at Washington, where minimum
of degrees below zero was recorded this
morning. The mean temperature for Friday
was 2 degrees below zero. the lowest daily
mean temperature ever recorded in the his
tory of the Washington station. The mean
temperature for the past two days was
zero also the lowest two days mean ever
recorded. This morning the temperatures in
the Ohio and middle Mississippi valleys
western upper lake region and middle At
lantic States were from l degree to IS de-
grees lower than any previous record for
the first decade of February. At Parkers-
burg it was &c degrees below zero, or Is
degrees lower than any previous record
and at Pittsburg 20 degrees below zero, or
degrees lower than any previous record
During the day, however, there was a
marked rise and tonight the temperatures
in the upper Ohio valley are close to zero,
which is also about the average New Eng
land temperature.
In the Northwestern and central Rocky
mountain region there has been another de-
cided fall, accompanied by snow, the tenn
perature having fallen from 10 degrees to 40
degrees and ranging from zero in central
Colorado to 80 degrees below zero in north
western North Dakota. In the South there
has been a tendency toward a slight rise
except along the west gulf coast. Snow is
falling in southern Illinois, Missouri, South
Dakota and the middle slope. There We're
also light local SHOWS in lower Michigan
and western New YORK ana lgnt local rams ans
and SHOWS in the south Atlantic and gulf
States. In the plateau and Pacific coast
regions there were light SHOWS and rains
in the northern portions. followed by gener-
ally fair weather without any temperature
changes of consequence.
Shows and rains are indicated in the
Southern States and snow from the
Ohio valley westward and in the
Southwest. Generally fair weather will pre-
vail elsewhere. The cold wave will continue
generally, except on the gulf and extreme
south Atlantic coasts, and there will be no
marked abatement for at least several
days. In the District of Columbia still low
er temperatures may be expected Saturday
morning, followed by a slight rise during
the day Fresh to brisk nOrtherly winds may
be expected in the Atlantic coast States.
Cold wave and nOrther signals are displayed
generally from South Dakota and Wyoming
southwark. except in extreme southern
Texas, and advisory messages have been
sent to lower Michigan, Indiana and the
middle Mississippi valley States that there
will be no appreciabe moderation of the
severe cold weather for several days to
come.
