Hicks Weather Forecasts For April.

31st will reach its elimination dur
ing the LIST and End days of April.
As shown by the storm diagram, the
Mercury disturbance and also the
Earth's perturbation extend over
into this month Look for very
warm weather for the season during
the first days of April, ending in
thunder storms, with mixed rain
and hail in many localities. Very
cool nights with frost in allnorthern
regions will likely follow during the
days following this storm period.
On the 9Th and 9th will center reae-
tionary changes to much warmer,
with vernal showers mixed here and
there with local hail. All these early
April storms will probably be at
tended with hurries ofsnowin north
ern extremes, and followed at their
close by nights cool enough for frosts
even in central sections of the coun-
try.
The regular Vulcan storm period
extending from the 9th to the 18th
will bring a marked fall of the ba-
rometer and very warm days Moon
being on the equator on the 18th,
the central day of the period, heavy
thunder storms will be natural on
and about that date. For reasons
very natural, there is a probability of
hailstorms with almost every mark
ed storm development, especially
when high temperature exists locally
during the month OF April. The dis
turbaances centering about the 18th
to 18th, will break up with snow
squalls northward about Saturday
the 18th, this being the date OF the
Easter full moon. There are strong
probabilities that Easter Sunday in
most parts of the country, central
and northward, will be too chilly
for a general, comfortable or ration
al participation in the annual dis
play of the millinery art. Those of
the gentle sex who figure on the Sun
day following Easter, that is, the
22nd, will, we predict, appear more
sessonable in their imported prints
and taxidermic wealth OF headgear.
On and touching the 18th and 18th
the barometer will fall, the temporal
ture will rise and April showers will
visit most parts of the country.
Cool, northerly winds will follow
showers and prevail generally until
the moon works up from her south
declination toward the celestial
equator, which point she reaches
during the regular storm period ex-
tending from the Dist to 25th. Dur
ing this Vulcan storm period, the
Venus disturbance which is central
in May will begin to be felt. From
about Monday the 23rd to Thurs
day the Goth look for a wave of I'M
seasonable warmth, and for very
low barometer, followed by some OF
the most general and decided storms
of the month. Much hail and thun-
der will attend these storms, with
the possibility OF tornado develop
ments in sections along the south
side of barometric depressions. Lo-
cal conditions will give ample warn
ings in case of probable violence
warnings that cannot be misunder-
stood by those who are willing to
exercise common sense. Look for
rapid change to very cool weather,
with frosts very probable for two or
three nights northward, at the close
of this storm period.
About the 2Sth, the date of new
moon, a decided reaction to warmer
will set in to the west, the barome
ter will begin falling in the same re
gion, and during the closing days o
the month these conditions, termi
mating in more rain and thunder
showers, will pass eastward acros.
the country.
