bulletin gave forecasts of disturb
ance to cross the continent Oct. 9
to II, warm wave 8 to Is, cool wave
II to Is. This will begin as a mild
disturbance in the far west but will
gather force as it reaches eastern
sections. Temperatures will average
lower than usual. The storm due on
meridian 90 about Oct. I will be OF
greater force.
Next disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about Oct. 10, cross Pa
citic slope by close of Is, great CEN
trail valleys II to 10, eastern see
tons 20. Warm wave will cross Pa
Citic slope about Oct. -, great cen
trail valleys II. eastern sections 80.
Cool wave Will cross Pacific slope
about Oct. Is, great central valleys
20. eastern sections p.
This disturbance will bring one OF
the three principal storm waves OF
October and during its passage most
places on the continent will get a
radical weather feature. The intel
Iigent reader will have observed that
these storm waves develop fierce
winds in some places, oppressive
Gains and high temperatures in 9th
ers, a deep blue sky in others, I'M
usually cool or cald in other places.
Whenever any weather extreme
appears it is the result OF storm
wave and it is very seldom that all
the weather features appear at the
same place and never at the same
time. Therefore when a storm wave.
of more than usual intensity is pre-
dicted the observant reader will see
and understand the weather feature
Of the storm that is visiting his
vicinity. 1t is not difficult to deter
mine by observing the clouds where
, the center Of the storm is and the
proach of the storm the thin, high
clouds usually form in parallel
! streamers and converge to point
somewhere westward. They point to
the storm center. They also con-
verge to another center somewhere
eastward which is the high or CEN
| ter of clear weather. That high is
| the feeder of the storm and carries
the moisture to the storm center.
As the storm center nears from
westward the clouds from eastward
move toward it, become thicker and
cause rain or snow before the storm
center reaches you. There are five
kinds of clouds and each will tell
you something about the approach
| ing storm. Each of these kinds OF
clouds has several kinds of move
ments and each movement tells a
different tale. The scud cloud, like
a racehOrse, runs down with great
speed and is headed toward a tor
| nado.
The storm wave above described
| to cross the continent Oct. i6 to 20
will be followed by a cold wave and
some sections will get all the wealth
er features. That will be an i'm
pOrtant storm on the continent and
all should be on the watch for it. 1t
will be a dangerous storm IN places.
| A tropical hurricane is one Of the
| probabilities and it will be good
time to keep off the southern seas.
The tropical hurricane in the south
and the cold wave in the north are
: tied together by electromagnetic
bands overhead and in the earthS
surface and from the hurricane TO
/ the cold wave overhead.
When it gets unusually warm az
! the warm wave crosses continent
Oct. Is to % you may expect that
! the cold wave is not far behind and
that the hurricane is churning the
! southern seas.
