AUGUST WEATHER BAD
Hicks the St. Louis Weather Prophet
Says that the Weather will be
Hot and Stormy.


What degree of intensity may be
given to them, regular storm disturbance
will be due from the list to the 4th of
of August. The probabilities are that
the natural warmth to be expected at
this season will grow into crisis of
summer heat about the LIST, 2nd and 3rt
to be followed progressively from the
west by low barometer, threatening
clouds and severe clustering. Local
rains some of them quite heavy may
attend these storms, but the general
supply and diffusion of rains over the
country promise to be short and poorly
distributed. Rising barometer and
change to more pleasant conditions for
few days will be natural behind the
pcrturbations at this time, extending
eastward over the country by the 18th
and 9TH.
A rcactionary storm period exists on
the 9th, 18th and Sth, during which days
look for increase Of warmth, falling
! barometer and marked tendency to
black clouds, thunder and storminess
These disturbances will eliminate on
and touching the Sth, some central to
northern parts of the country being
visitcdi by severe summer squalls
Change to rising barometer, westerly
and cooler will press in from the west
MI l,or orc nd
storms move eastwardly out of the way
bringing partial respite from summer
i heat for two or three days.
One of the cheated terms" of the
to the 18th. At the beginning Of this
period the warm wave will start in west
ern sections, attended by low and fall
ing barometer; casterly to soutlerly
winds will increase the heat over all
sections east of the actual storm CEN
ters. AS the low barometer moves east
ward, threatening clouds, with severe
local storms will visit many sections,
with favorable conditions, for some gen
! erous midsummer rains. The storm dia-
gram shows thataa Mercury disturbance
is also central near the center of this
regular storm period.
This greatly increases the probability
of rain from about the 18th to the 10Th.
While !. the heat wave and storms are
still passing central and eastern parts
of the country, change to cooler will be
advancing from the west and north, SO
that byi the 18th and 10th most parts
of the country will have felt the change
to cooler weather. Remember this and
be able to answer accordingly to their
folly, those who say, clicks said it
would be red hot everywhere from the
18th to the 16th.'' There will be percept-
able reaction to rising temperature, fall
ing barometer and return to cloudiness
and storms on and touching the 18th
and 18th, followed by another return to
cooler, more pleasant weather about the
18th to DIST.
If the perturbations of the Mars
period, which is seen by the storm aia-
gram to be central on the Goth, should
take on the nature Of violent atmos-
'lpLeric displacements result rather
to be expected the regular storm
period extending from the 21st to the
9th will develope some violent and
dangerous West Indian storms. The
situation will be more critical from the
fact that the moon is in perigee on the
Dist, new on the 22nd, and on the celes-
tial equator on the Oath General storm
conditions will develope over the
country, and inland storms of more OF
less intensity may reasonably be expect
ed about the 24th to 9th. Ii equatorial
storms appear in the south at this time
reaching regions as far north as ou1
extreme southern states, phenome
nally cool weather will follow thu
storms over all central to northwestern
states. Such results need not be sur
. prise to our readers.
The 10Th and Both will bring reaction
} to storm conditions, and more or les
stormincss and rain will result in man,
localities. Rising barometer and chang
q to cooler weather generally will mari
!. the closing hours of the month.
