Local Data
Weather Conditions

Birmingham November n-G p. mo-
The pressure in high over the entire east
ern half of the country, but the center Of
greatest pressure has shifted from the
southern states to the great lakes dur
inf the past "a hours. The low pressure
area that was confined Thursday night
to the southwest, now overlies almost the
entire Rockies and the southern plains
states as well.
This pressure distribution has caused
generally cloudy weather throughout the
eat central basin from the Rockies to
the Alleghanies, and rain across the mid
die of the country from Utah to New
York. Snow Is falling in South Dakota,
and freezing temperatures prevail at
p. m. over the northern plains states and
the greater portion of the lake region.
There has been a cool change over the
country north of Oklahoma and the Ohio
river, but in the southern states, tenn
peratures have remained stationary or
risen slightly. AS the center of the pres
sure area that has caused the cool
change in sections to the north of us is
so far eastward, it is not probable that
its influence will extend into the south,
slowly eastward there will probably be
a gradual increase in cloudlness in this
section Saturday, with nearly stationary
temperatures.
