WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Yesterday S northwestern storm has
oyerspread most of southern Canada,
with the greatest barometric depres-
sion now over the St. Lawrence val
ley. This disturbance has been at
tended by a decided rise in tempera-
ture from the upper Mississippi valley
to the north Atlantic sections and by
high winds and occasional light snow
in the eastern portion of the lake re-
giou. Light precipitation has again
occurred in southeastern Colorado and
Texas as a result of the area of rela-
lively low pressure that is central over
Arizona. Generally fair weather in
about all of the remaining portions of
the United States and Canada is &C.
cOmpanying the extensive area of high
pressure which shows separate crests
over Tennessee and Idaho. Because
of the low over Canada and the high
pressure TO the southwark and west
ward. fair weather, with moderate
temperature. is indicated for this vi
ciuity tonight and Thursday.
