Weather conditions and general forecast
"A narrow trough of low pressure extends
from Texas to Lake Superior with a dis
tinct center of disturbance at each extrem-
ity. This depression is the second offshoot
from the north Pacific depression. which
was first noted one week ago and still con-
tinues. There have been signs of a dis
turbance for the past day or two some dis
lance off the Carolina coast, causing a con-
tinuance of the unsettled weather in the
middle Atlantic states and the persistence
of the rain in the south Atlantic states; fu-
ture movement of this disturbance is I'M
certain.
Precipitation during the past twenty-four
hours has been limited to rain in the south
Atlantic and east gulf states and the mid
die and northern plateau and Pacific coast
regions.
The extreme northwest is covered bv a
cold wave with below zero temperature
through North Dakota and in western Min
nesota. Temperatures have also fallen
somewhat in the south Atlantic states.
They have risen considerably from the
southwestern states northeastward through
the lake regions.
Generally fair weather is indicated to-
night and Saturday, except in the lower
lake region, where light snow is likely ex-
tending into northern New England Satur-
day. 1t will also be fair in the southwest.
1t will be warmer in the Atlantic states
and colder Saturday from the western
lower lake region southwestward into
northern Texas.
On the Atlantic coast winds will be fresh
and mostly east to south.
Cold wave signals are displayed at VAL
entine, Sioux City, Dubuque, eastern Min
nesota, Wisconsin, upper Michigan and at
Alpena and Grand Haven.
