:
Washington, Nog. 2-My last bulletin
gave forecasts Of disturbance to cross
the continent 81 to November 4. warm
wave 80 to November ;, cool wave No
vember to g. The next disturbance
will reach the Pacific coast about ;. cross
west of the Rockies by close OF 6, great
central valleys ! to 9. eastern states 10.
Warm wave will cross west of Rockies
about 5, great central valleys !. eastern
states 9. Cool wave will cross west of
the Rockies about 8. great central val
leys 10, eastern states IL.
This disturbance will follow a period
of very cool weather AMI will cause a
great rise III temperatures. particularly
i'll Texas and southern states eastward
Indications are that the storm center
will come through Texas, Louisiana,
Tennessee, Kentucky. thence through
New England and the cool wave north
of that route
Following this disturbance the tenn
peratures will make great fall reach
ing the lowest point not far from No
vember 3 and about that time extreme
southern sections will get unusually Sc
we're frosts. The first dip near Noven-
Der II will not go to low temperatures
the second. about u. will be a cold wave
and the thiri, about .. will be a severe
cold wave Rainfall. including SHOWS,
will largely increase from November 81
to %.
About November , a wave Of summer
weather is expected, but it will be but
short-lived Immediately following that
date will come the first cold wave and
blizzard OF the month 1t will strike
western Canada, northern AMI mid-lati-
tude states and will at least reach north
ern sections Of the cotton belt. All the
weather features will be radical and all
sections of the continent will feel the
effects of this disturbance The closing
feature will be several days OF unusually
cold weather.
During the first half OF November
temperatures will average about nor
NAL, very cold near and very warm
near 49, These dates are for meridian
90 as the weather changes move east
ward across the continent. The last hafl
OF November will averague much colder
than usual. the moderate temperature
waves reaching meridian co near 20. 2o
and December ?, and the cold waves
near % and 20.
Being little behind with my calcu
lations for 1908 crop weather have not
advised as to fall sowing OF winter
grains. In my next bulletin | hope to
say something on that subject. In mid
latitude and southern states indications
are that December will be a favorable
month for sowing winter grains. will
soon be able to advise as to the most
profitable grains to produce i'll 1908.
November weather will be dominated |
by the great planet Jupiter. Mercury,
though much smaller. will, lon account
CT its feetness, dispute Jupiter's right
to rule the magnetic waves, and Venus
will come in as thiri-rate power.
These planets are great magnets and the
laws of magnetism apply in determining
which of the planets control. 1t is not
always easy to decide which planet will
control Our weather, but we have no diff
h,ulty in deciding which has controlled.
The weather records make it plain
enough in all cases of past weather. and
the only method by which we can find
the laws of planetary meteorology is to
study the weather records in relation to
planetary positions. Mercury passes be-,
tween Jupiter and the sun January 20.
Take the weeks of which these dates
are central days and you will find radi-
>al extremes in the weather Dangerous
storms and earthquakes are probable
near these dates.
