Washington. June i4.-Last bulle-
tin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross The continent June &c to IL.
warm wave 9 to i3, cool wave II to
l6. Next disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about June Is, cross Pa
Cific slope by close of i6, great cen
trail valleys II TO 10, eastern sec
tions 90. Warm wave will cross Pa
cific slope about June IS, great CEN
trail valleys II, eastern sections 10.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about i8, great central valleys 20,
eastern sections %.
AS this disturbance approaches
from the west the hot spell will con-
tinue but a great drop in tempera-
lures is expected to follow, bringing
cooler weather and showers and
then generally quiet and cool
weather for seeral days. Local
drouths will be broken in some
places as the cool wave comes in,
but many sections will continue to
be dry and crops will suffer.
Another disturbance will reach
The Pacific. coast about June 2i,
cross Pacific slope by closeg of q,
great central valleys % to 25, east
ern sections 26.. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about June 81,
great central valleys %, eastern sec
tions %. Cool wave will cross Pa
cific slope about June "a, great cen
tral valleys &c, eastern sections 2S.
Temperatures. of this disturbance
will aerage about or a little below
normal. Showers will occur in many
places but the rainfall will be gem
orally less than usual. No dangerous
storms are expected. Fair crop
weather is expected in at least half
the grain sections, but not sufficient
rain in south half Of the cotton belt
except a few heavy local rains.
Our sever storm period for last
part Of May did not come up to ex-
pectations but eastern Virginia got
more than its share. A severe storm
wave crossed the continent far
but storms were not Sc
we're in middle latitudes. This was
our least successful forecast of Sc
we're storms for this year.
But look out for July. Two dan
gerous storm periods will occur in
that month centering on 6 and n.
The forces are sc complicated that
specific forecasts are difficult, and
storms may be expected
any day throughout july. If by Civ
ing these warnings we could save
one life, we would be we'll repaid
for taking the great responsibility
of predicting dangerous storms.
We regard July as one of the most
dangerous storm months of the year
and we do not hesitate to give the
most urgent warnings to all, partic-
ularly in the great central valleys
of the middle west, that very dan
gefous storms will occur during
next month. Five storms are ex-
pected to cross the continent and
every one should watch their move
ments carefully Dangerous storms,
tornadoes, usually oc-
cur southeast Of the low or storm
center and in the warm wave.
The dangerous storms are expect
ed to cross the continent July Z to
3, 10 to IA, i9 to %, "a to % and 20
10 August q They will probably pass
eastward between latitudes 35 and
Is. One or more tropical storms
hurricanes-are expected during the
month in the Caribbean Sea and the
Gulf Of Mexico. Sometimes the first
warning of the hurricane comes
from the far northwest in the shape
Of seere cool wave. These north
cool waves in summer and
cold waves in winter are usually
with tropical storms.
We will continue to give out
and descriptions of the ex-
pected July Dangerous storms.
