Weather Conditions

Birmingham, April 29.--1 P. M)-An
area of high pressure overles the en-
tire central valley on tonights map. IL
has caused fair weather from the Rocky
mountains to the Appalachians during the
past q hours. Areas of low barometer
occupy the eastern coast and the plateau
states The eastern low has caused
general rain over the Atlantic slope north
of Cape Hatteras, while the western CEN
ter, being still in high and relatively
dry regions, has caused only a rise in
the temperatures in the Rockies and the
plains states In the Pacific northwest
another high has appeared since Mon
day night, and it has caused a sudden
fall in temperatures over the western
Canadian and extreme northern Rocky
mountain sections. At T p. m. the tenn
perature at Helena, Mont, was 26 de-
grees and snow was falling. AT the same
hour in western South Dakota the tenn
perature was so degrees, or change or
"a degrees in less than 200 miles.
Fair weather has prevailed throughout
the cotton belt. Temperatures have risen
slightly in all sections, but are stfil be-
low normal values for this season of the
year in most sections.
A The rWeatper shoulo continue lar III lilis
section Wednesday and temperatures
should continue to rise. As the low
to the westward approaches there will
probably be a change to rather unset
tied and showery conditions, but so slow
has been the movement of the storm CEN
ters of late that it is not thought this
change will reach Birmingham before
Thursday or Thursday night.
