WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington. ID. C. Feb. 5:-Last
bulletin gave forecast OF disturbance to
cross continent Feb. TO -, warm
wave s to IL. cool wave II to 10. This
will cause February thaw farther
north than usual force but the heavi
est precipitation is not expected with
this storm. without these storms our
precipitation would be in the form OF
very fine mist. very fine snow and
would come down gradually This
storm Is expected to prepare the
moisture In the atmosphere for ex.
cessiye. SHOWS and rains to come later
and the SHOWS in some sections are ex-
pected to melt and put the streams
I'm conditions for floods when the rains
come.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about Feb 10. cross Pacific slope
by close OF II. central valleys is to II.
eastern sections Is. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about Feb. 10. cen
trail valleys Is. eastern sections II.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about Feb. Is. central valleys is. cas-.
tern sections 20.
This will cause severe storms from
the Pacific to the Atlantic and these
will increase In force as they move
eastward reaching their greatest force
In eastern sections.
Our success In forecasting the ex.
cessive rains and SHOWS thus far for
January and February should induce
all to prepare for severe storms and
excessive precipitations during the
week eentering on February 10. No
other iorecaster has ever succeeded
so well In long in advance forecasts Of
excessive precipitation in the rockies
and on the Pacific slope. We are Ger.
tainly getting our forecasts into better
working order for those western sec.
ltions
Colder than usual IA most parts o.
the continent is expected about and
for a few days following Feb. while
severe winter storms will be crossing
cohtinent causing excessive rains or
SLOWS. Indications are that the storms
fill be most severe near Feb. 20 while
the cold wave is expected to be on or
little east OF meridian 90. with one Sc.
we're storm in Pacific slope sections
and another In eastern sections.
This Is the crop season for South
America. South Africa and Australia
Their crops are now near the same
advancemnt as ours are In August
We expect South America and South
