WEATHER CONDITIONS

Light rain or snow on the northeast
ern Rocky mountain slope and a
further rise in temperature in the Mis-
sissippi and lower Missouri valleys
have resulted from the western low,
the center of which has advanced to
western Iowa. The crest of the north
Pacific high is over Oregon and it's
attendant colder weather has over
spread about all of the Rocky noun
tain region Owing to the eastward
movement of the low and the approach
of the Pacific high, unsettled weather
is indicated for this vicinity tonight
and Saturday, probably with showers
and it will be colder Saturday.
