Hicks Forecasts For November.

The first storm movements for this month
will be central on the 3rd and 4th. On and
touching these days rise in temperature,
falling barometer, cloudiness and rain will
pass eastwardly from western extremes to the
Atlantic. The western and northern sides of
this and all storm areas at this season, will
most likely turn to snow, and as the high ba-
rometer pushes in from the northwest behind
the storms, high, cold winds and freezing,
clearing weather will succeed.
The second storm period for November
will be central on the 9th extending from the
7th to the 18th. A marked change to warmer
will move out of western parts, falling barom-
eter will follow, and wide areas of autumnal
rain will move eastward from about the 9th
to the 18th. These storms will reach the cul-
minating stage about the 18th with possible
lightning and thunder southwark, all followed
from the northwest by change to snow, rising
barometer and cold, clearing weather. Watch
and see.
The anti-storm conditions following the
preceding period will break down about the
10th and 10th, which are reactionary storm
days. On and touching the 18th and 10th
low barometer, rising temperature, and wide
areas of renewed rain, turning to snow gener-
ally to northward, will pass eastwardly from
far west over the country.
4 One of the marked storm periods of the
month covers the 10Th to the 23rd. Be pre-
pared at this time for all the progressive
phenomena of q very active storm period.
Low barometer and warmer will end in gen.
eral rains, rains will lead to snow and sleet-
look for Shetland snow and seet will be at
tended and followed by change amounting
to cold wave. This period will come to its
crisis about the 22nd and 23rd.
On and touching the 26th and 9th, the
cloudy, unsettled weather will grow into de-
cided autumnal storms of rain, wind and
snow. In all northern sections look for heavy
sleet. High northwesterly winds and change
to quite cold will follow these storms.
As the month goes out storm period will
be in its first stages; it will be turning warmer
in the west, with falling barometer and other
indications approaching storm. This period
will eliminate in the opening days of Decem-
Der.
