Weather Conditions

Birmingham, May 16. 1890 p. ny
The slight ridge of harometric pressure
that has remained over the eastern co9s.
during the past several days has de-
creased in intensity and in it's influence
over weather conditions over the eastern
and central gulf states. AS a result there
has been a rapid extension eastward of
the rain area that was confined last night
to sections west of the Mississippi river,
and on tonight's map rain has fallen in
all sections except the extreme eastern
in Texas and Louisiana. This rain area
is but a part of widespread area cover
ing almost the entire eastern and north
ern portions of the country, which has
boen caused by the rapid movement south
and eastward of two areas of low pres
sure, one over the lakes moving across
the upper Appalachians to the Chesapeake
bay, the other moving from the northern
Rockies to the western Mississippi valley.
Temperatures have risen generally over
the southern states and fallen somewhat
over central and northern sections.
The presence of the low" over the
western states should cause continued un-
settled conditions over this section Satur-
day. Temperatures should change but
slightly.
