As Predicted by Hicks. the ST.
Louis Weather Prophet.
The storm period which was central
with the full moon at the close Of March
will extend into the LIST and I'd of April.
Storms Of rain, wind, low barometer and
high temperature, will have given place
to snow, rising barometer and much
colder in all western sections as April
comes in. Cold, northerly winds, with
frost and freezing northward, will fol-
low about the LIST to the Sd, progress
lively from west to east. IL frost reaches
far into central to southern sections at
this time, our readers should not be
taken wholly by surprise. Careful and
impartial observers must have discover
ed that tho Easter full moon is almost
invariably attended and followed by
severe and disagreeable squalls and
boreal weather. The present case we
believe will prove no exception to the
rule. Plants and tender vegetation
should be protected against the prob
ability of killing frost during the first
three or four days in April.
About the 4th to the 9th falls a re-
dictionary storm period, during which
time falling barometer, change to warm
er, with more rain and storminess will
be probable. Hail storms will be most
natural at all the April disturbances,
and sudden drops Of temperature should
not surprise anyone after all we'll de-
fined storm movements.
Tho Vulcan storm period, central on
the 10th, will bring series of pronounce
ed storms. The elimination of these
storms will fall about Sunday, the 10th,
to Wednesday, the 18th. Look for high
temperature, low barometer, with rain,
hail and thunder, progressively from
west to east, on the 18th, 18th and 18th
Rapid rise Of barometer and change to
quite cool will follow behind the storms
but reaction to storm conditions will
suddenly return, and from the 18th to
the 18th it will again become very
warm, progressively, the barometer will
again fall to low readings and decided
storms Of rain, hail and thunder will
occur along paths of low barometric
pressure. The sudden revulsions OF
Venus from hot to cold will be felt at
this time and at each disturbance dur.
| irrp tho pncf % tho Il -
disturbances should be apprehended, II
very low barometer, high temperature
and abnormal humidity prevail at this
time.
A regular Vulcan-Venus perturbation
will be central on the 21st extending
from the 18th to 23d. The barometer
will drop low and the temperature rise
very high as this period progresses
resulting in many vicious thunder and
hail storms on and touching the 21st
I'D and 23d. The normal tendency tc
April thunder showers will grow into
decided and far-reaching transforms
with dangerous winds and possible
tornadoes during the progress Of these
disturbances. The inevitable change tc
much cooler, with frosts general over
central and northern sections, will fol.
low up the western TANKS of these
storms. Late snow squalls need sur
prise no one, as the high barometer fol
lows low areas at these April periods.
One of the most decided, and perhaps
violent storm periods of the month, OK
tends from about the Goth to Goth. This
period is nearer the center of the Venus
disturbance, is in Mercury perturba
tion, with Moon on the celestial equato
in perigee and full. We warn our read
ers to watch the barometric condition
and storm developments at this time
Very general and severe storms ar
more than probable. This is tim
when destructive hail storms are almos
certainty in very many sections. All
normal down pours of rain will also visi
central to southern regions. The mont
will go out with high barometer, col
winds and frosty nights northward.
