day; Little Temperature Changes.

For the District of Columbia, Maryland
and Virginia, overcast weather. probably
showers tonight or Sunday; not much
change in temperature; moderate south
erly winds.
The storm referred to in the preceding
reports has made little progress in it's
eastward movement and its center re-
mains over the upper lakes. 1t has
caused a continuation of unsettled wealth
err and showers over practically all dis
| tricts from the Atlantic coast westward
to the Mississippi valley. There were
heavy local rains in the gulf and south
Atlantic states, the Ohio valley and the
upper lake region. The heaviest fall re-
ported was 5.34 inches at Shreveport, La.
Temperatures have not changed de-
ciGedly and are generally near Or below
the sea sonal average in all parts of the
country.
The indications are that the storm over
the upper lakes will move slowly east
ward and cause continuation of unset
tied and showery weather over the
greater part of the country east of the
Mississippi river during the next thirty
six hours.
The temperature will not change mate
rally over the ca stern half of the coun-
| try during tonight and Sunday.
