% to 81. This disturbance will bring
a great rise in temperatures, a period
of unreasonable weather and weather
extremes. Most precipitation will con-
tinue to be in northern sections Of our
northwestern mountains, in northeast
ern sections and about the Gulf Of
Mexico. Our warnings of evere
northern storms to occur first half of
November proved fairly good but the
storms continued to be severe further
east than we anticipated.
Next disturbance will reach Paci-
lic coast about Nov. 26, cross Pacific
slope by close of Nov. 27, great cen
tral valleys Nov. 2S to 80, eastern
sections Dec. /. Warm wave will cross
Pacific slope about Nov. &c, great CEN

Nov. 80. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about Nov. 20, great central val

This disturbance will continue the
high temperatures but the fluctuations
will be great, bringing some cold WIN

We must keep close after the locations
of the fogs II we are learning more
and more about this all the time.
This Nov. 27 to Dec. l, disturbance
will be Il dangerous storm in northern
sections, particularly in northeastern
and northwestern. Our success has
been good in giving dates Of these
severe storms and we are making
progress in locating them. When the
warm wave strikes your section not
far from Nov. 27, in the far west, and
Nov. 20, in the middle sections, and
Dec. ], in eastern sections, you would
prepare for a bad winter storm.
For this year these winter storms are
