WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Two remarkable storm conditions
existed on the weather map OF the
United States last night, and the situa-
ton is q serious one. according to ex-
perts of the Weather Bureau. With
the gulf storm sweeping northeastward
from Florida at velocity OF 52 miles
an hour, threatening great damage 10
shipping and property along the eastern
coast. and with a low barometer OF ~
~ in Florida rare condition-an-
other storm is approaching from the
west. bringing with it the coolest
weather OF the season. In the middle
states an excessive drop in temperature
probably will come in "a hours. Be
hind the western storm, which extends
from western Lake Superior to Texas,
Is AN extensive area OF high barometer
that has developed the extreme cold.
The cold will be felt in this section by
tomorrow night. Should the Gulf storm
and the western storm meet along the
eastern coast the situation would be
doubly serious, but in the opinion OF
the weather forecaster the southern
hurricane will have passed out to sea
before the western storm can meet 1t.
Hurricane warnings are displayed on
the coast from Florida to and including
Norfolk. while storm warnings are fly
