Washington. April 26.--(Copyright-
ed, 1913, by w. T. Foster.) LAST bull
|letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross continent April rs to 80, warm
wave 18th to 2sth. cool wave 2sth to
May 2. This disturbance will be Of
greater force than usual. but no very
dangerous storms are expected to &C
company 1t. But all should be on the
alert, for this is year OF great
storms and we can not always guage
their force. Temperatures will con-
tinue to average above and rainfall
below normal for the continent, and
particularly for the great Central val
leys from the gulf to Northern cult
waited sections OF Canada, but in years
of great storms the rainfall is often
concentrated and it Is difficult to To-
cate the limited areas where the heavy
and sudden rains will fall. 1t is al
ways safe to expect temperatures on
the Pacific slope and the Atlantic
coast to be the reverse OF the great
Central valleys.
4 Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about May 2, CROSS Pacific slope
by close Of Sd, great Central valleys
4th to 9Th, Eastern sections It'll.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about May 2, great Central valleys
4th. Eastern sections 9Th. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about May 5,
great Central valleys 7th, Eastern Sec
tions 9th.
Temperatures will average above
normal through the time covered by
this disturbance. Force Of the storm
will be a little above normal till 1t
reaches meridian 80, when 1t will be-
gin to increase, and by the time it
reaches the Atlantic coast it will be
I gin to be a furious storm. Steamship
lines will have trouble with this
storm out on the Atlantic not far from
MAY 8. At he same time MAY S-9)
: shipping will meet with a furious
storm on our North Pacific coast, anc
I for these dates our danger signals viii
hang out warning all interests on botf
: coasts. From May to Z we advise
{ not to 20 onto the Great Lakes.
I While general average Of rainfall II
! expected to be less TAIN usual, some
( rains may be expected in parts OF the
great Central valleys during the weel
centering on May 8, and in Eastern
: sections during the week centering OF
May TO- Rainfall OF May is expected
to be above normal in Eastern sec
tions and on aPcific coast. and below
( normal in large sections Of the grea
! Central vallys. Rains will probably q
= to tn highlands about the mountSin'
and the clouds float high over land
near sea level.
Last half OF May is expected to b.
very much cooler than the first hall
and frosts will go further south nea
May "a than usual. The month TO
the continent will average about mol
NAL in temperatures. Highest temper
atures will cross meridian 80, movin
eastward, near May and 16. and tn
lowest temperatures near May an
"a and June 2.
