warm wave is to %, cool wave
s21Stos IS. The forces will be again.
increasing at the time Of this storm
crosses the continent and as the.
storm forces will be greater. than us
ual all should be on the watch for
them; but we are not expecting it to
be of great force as compared with
those Of recent dates. .s.:#:=
The dangerous storms usually oc-
cur ii the southeast quarter Of the
low Or storm center and if you watch
the elements and the wind which,
when the storm center gets within a
day Of your longitude, blows a lit
tie to the right Of the storm center
you can closely determine when the.
storm will reach you. These bulle-
tins seldom miss the date, when the.
storm will pass your locality, more.
than tWentyfour hours. When the
wind comes from some eastern point
you may know the storm center is
westward and moving eastward. Tor
|snadoes occur in the southeast quar-
ter Of the low or storm center and
move northeastward. They also oc-
cur near the time when the temper
atures are highest. ..:.s
Everyone should learn to know the
easily understood conditions that
prevail just before an important
event or change in the weather. a
hog, a bird, a goose knows that much.
A stuffy, oppressive atmosphere
indicates storm not far away and
that condition always prevails just
4 before the tornado strikes. Before
the cropgrowing season is ended we
will hear Of more dangerous and de-
structive storms and these bulletins
will not hesitate to make the best
forecasts Of them that are now pos
sible. 5.. =. 81 x>.. -s:
t. Next disturbance will reach Paci-
ic coast about April Is, cross Paci-
ic slope by close Of 26, great central
valleys q to 20, eastern sections 80.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about April ;25, great central valleys
.|27, eastern sections 20. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about April
/ %, great central valleys 80, eastern
sections May 1. :. T. y. : j.
| 3 This will be. very much like the
preceding disturbance. Very warm
weather, high winds near the center
Of the low and a gale as the high 0,
cool wave comes in. 1t will not be
| a very great storm but the force viii
be such that all should be careful
It will probably enter the continent
thru the state Of Washington, its
center go as far south in the great
central valleys as parallel 40 and
then pass up thru eastern Canada. 4
Temperatures will average above
normal from April 18 to May 3 anc
1 rain Of that period will average be-
/ low normal for the continent but. il
a few small sections excessive rains
will fall. That is always the result
when storms cross the continent.
Severe storms. are expected neal
! May 10 and from May 81 to 80
More particulars later. Our danger
i signals were out March 81 to April
z. On March 81 a tornado struck
| New York state, April 3 another hit
Missouri, April 4 and S severe storms
from Illinois to eastern provinces Of
Canada. Forecasts for March rain
placed the general average below
but results show a little above, nor.
NAL. That limited sections would
have excessive rains proved good
! May is expected to bring out many
dry spots, probably too dry for grow
4 ing crops. .zs.
