Fosters Weather Bulletin
Copyrighted. 1908, by y. T. Foster

Washington, D. c., Oct. "a Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent 20 to &c, warm
wave 81 to 25, cool wave "a to %.
This was expected to bring the most
radical weather features Of the month
with a tropical storm in the Car1b-
bean Sea, severe storms on the con-
tinent and cold wave in the north
west.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about q, cross Pacific slope by
close of g. great central valleys 20 to
81, eastern states Nov. /. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about q,
great central valleys 20, eastern
states 81. Cool wave will cross Pa
cific slope about 80, great central val
leys Nov. 1, eastern states 3.
This will be dangerous storm on
the Pacific coast and | warn all sea-
going people to be on the alert for
rough seas and boisterous weather.
The storm will probably continue
severe till it crosses the Rockies and
then begin to lose force. From Mani
toba westward rough weather will pre-
vail during the passage of this
| storm.
/ When the storm has reached the
Dakotas, about Oct. 81, great cold
wave will develop west of Manitoba
causing SHOWS or Billiards and exceed.
ingly cold weather. These early biz
yards are dangerous to unsheltered
live stock This cold wave will be very
extensive, covering large part OF
the continent east Of the Rockies. 1t
| will enter the cotton belt and Kill all
growing cotton north of latitude 30.
When that storm has cleared away
will be an excellent time for gathering
corn and picking cotton, particularly
from Nov. to 49, After that warm
period low temperatures will prevail
to near end Of month and weather
will not be so favorable for farm
work. Another cold wave will come
4 near Nov. IA and still another about
Dec 1, but they will not be so severe
as the one first described and which
will reach meridian 80 about Nov. 2
