Washington, D. c., Oct 25.-Lasl
bulletin gave forecasts of disturb
ance to cross the continent oct. 81
to Nov. 1. warm wave Oct. 80 t. Nov.
8, cool wave Nov. 2 to 6. Tempera-
lures Of that disturbance will aver
age below normal and the force Of
the storm will be much above nor
NAL and a severe storm may be ex-
pected. AS it goes out onto the north
Atlantic the storm forces will
weaken. The rains of this storm
will be largely on the Pacific slope
and floods may be expected during
that week.
About and Immediately following
Oct. % the storm forces will be Of
greater than usual intensity and So
we're storms are expected. That viii
be The third and last disturbance 81
October. The rainfall accompanying
il VIII principally fall on the pa
cific slope and in northern Rocky
mountains SHOWS are also expected
in that sectiJtii as the cold wave fol-
lowing his last storm Of October
comes in.
Next disturbance will reach Pa
clic coast about Nov /, cross pa
cific slope by close of ), great cen
trail valleys 6 to 8. eastern sections
10. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about Nov 3. great central
valleys 5, eastern sections l. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
Nov. 7, great central valleys 9, east
ern sections IL.
! This disturbance will be about a
general average in all its features
but the rainfall and snow will be
! excessive on the northern Pacific
slope and in the northern Rockies,
while elsewhere the precipitation
will be less than usual. Northern
parts of the great central valleys
vii get less rain and snow than
usual during The month of Novem-
Der. and indications are that the
freeze in the spring wheat country
east of Rockies will come when not
sufficient moisture is in the soil for
the needs of crops next spring.
The northern transeontinental
railroads should prepare for bad
winter storms and deep SHOWS in
the mountains they cross in north
west. Indications are that SHOWS
of the continent will concentrate III
the mountains of the northwest and
on the Pacific slope during all Of
the winter now at hand. Northeast
ern states will get some SHOWS III
December but even in that month
the SHOWS will continue in north
west.
A remarkable warm wave and
thaw is expected last third of No
yember. In The northwest mountains
where SHOWS shall have fallen the
SHOWS will probably melt while the
rains are falling and thereby cause
. floods. Look out for freshets about
last ten days Of November in north
ern Rockies and on northern Pacific
slope.
The products of South America
are beginning TO be Of great import
; ance to producers and consumers o.
: this continent and as we have founo
the causes of the general preciplta-
tions and drouths for all large sec
lions Of the world it is important tc
forecast The general ranis and gen
eral drouths of other countries. W.
can not make good local rainfall
forecasts for small sections Of other
, countries but we can make goot
forecasts of general rains and o
, drouths for all parts of the world
1--WE can make good local forecasts
for this continent because we have
the local records of precipitation
!. and temperature.
For November South America vii
get an abundance of rain east Of tht
Andes, probably too much rain. ant
dry weather will prevail west Of th'
I Andes. As crop month Novembe'
o in South America corresponds will
our May. Therefore in genera
way we expect good crop weathe
: in South America during Novem
4 her. fair in India. dry in Soutl
6 Africa. Heavy rains are expected i
9 Japan, China. the Philippines, Bur
Y nah, Java, Borneo and Australia.
