Hicks for april.

4 marked change to warmer with cor
responding fall of the barometer will pass
Eastward during the first two or three
Gays Of April. Forerunning indications
| will eliminate in storms of rain, wind
and thunder on the 3rd and 4th.
| Any locality in all the great storm belts
Of the country will be liable to these visi
tations, and wherever high humidity and
temperature, attended by low barometer
may exist, to that extent, forceful and
violent storms will be probable. Anyone
of ordinary intelligence can tell hours
before whether his immediate locality is
going to fall in the direct path of a storm
The tendency to hail storms will be great
ly increased at this time, copperish,
electrical cloud being almost a certain
precursor of approaching hail. The per-
iod will end in change to much cooler
with probable snow hurries northward,
and cool to frosty nights will follow up
to about the 9th.
The 9TH and Sth are central dates, on
AID touching which reactionary changes
to storm conditions will take place.
These changes to warmer, falling balo
eter, with outbreaks of rain and stormi-
ness, will begin in western, and make
their transit to eastern sections, bein 6 fol-
lowed by rapid rise Of the barometer and
will change to much cooler. Electrical,
Venus storms until past the middle Of
April, should be warnings of sudden
change to cooler with frost.
A regular Vulcan storm period extends
from the 18th to the 18th. The changes
that go before the formation and approach
Of cloudiness and storms will appear to
the westward as we enter this period aud
later, say from the 18Th TO the 18th, rain
with thunder and stormiuess will touch
numerous localities in their progress east
ward over the country. The Mercury
disturbance blending with that of Venus
at this time will almost surely prolong
and intensity storm conditions, 50 that
little or no intermission Of settled wealth
er will follow tnis period before the be-
ginning of anot her.
The next storm period includes the II
to the 20 inclusive. The Easter full
Mo IN on the celestial equator aud in per-
igee are embraced in the l It'll to the 10Th.
Very threatening electrical storms, vio-
lent and tornado in places westward and
central, are possible and probable at this
time These storms will break up into
snow squalls over much Of the country
northward, aud be followed by several
days of bleak and frosty weather. Late
sleet storms will visit many sections on
and touching the Is and 10th.
The next regular storm period is CEN
trail on the 9th, covering the 23rd to the
9th. The barometer will fall generally
during the progress of this period, and
April showers will thicken into wild
or and heavier thunder storms. At all
the periods in April up to this period,
many parts Of the country will get more
rain than for many months past. Low
lands 10 all central to western states will
have too much. Change to fair and cool
er will follow this period, up to the 20.
On the 20 and 80 reactionary storm con-
ditions will return. April will end with
much warmer weather, low barometer and
series of thunder showers passing east
wardly across the country.
