Washington. D. c.. May 2s.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts OF disturbance
to cross continent % to 81. warm
wave IS to 80, cool wave % to June 2.
The principal features Of this disturb
ance were expected to be a great rise
in temperature, warm weather. threat
ening and severe weather with proba-
bility of severe storms.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June .. cross Pacific

wave will cross Pacific slope about
June 2. great central valleys 4. east
ern states s. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about 5. great central
valleys Z. eastern states 9.
This will be one of the three dan.
gerous storm periods OF June and as
severe storms cannot now be definite
| ly located. the best policy is to be on
the alert. especially in sections where
such storms sometimes occur. l ex-
pect these storms to be most severe
| within a day or two Of June 4. I have
the storm center located on June 4
in the great central valleys west of
the Mississippi river, but as these
storm centers move eastward from 400
to 700 miles a day the exact location
where the dangerous storms will
break cannot now be known.
Temperatures will go very high be
fore this storm center passes and very
low following it. Very cool weather
will drift eastward June 5 to 10. cross
ing meridian 80 about or s. This
fall in temperature will cause rains as
the high barometer comes In.
| Three great storm waves will cross
the continent during the five days OF
which June 4, II and July l will be
central days. Very little harm can
result by SO arranging affairs as to be
on the safe side during the passage OF
these severe storms. while much good
may result. Future bulletins will give
Il details.

erage about normal but they will &c
to great extremes rs the storm cen
