THE WEATHER

The low pressure on the Atlantic
coast has moved northeastward and
is off the New England coast this
morning. 1t has caused scattered
rains during the past "a hours over
the Middle and North Atlantic coast.
Rain has also fallen in portions of the
lower Lake region and the Ohio val
ley. Elsewhere in the east, fair wealth
er has prevailed, under the influence
of a ridge of relatively high pressure
which extends from the upper lakes
to the middle Gulf coast. 1t is some.
what warmer this morning over the
North and Middle Atlantic states.
In the west, the low pressure area
which has been oyer the plateau re-
gion for the past few days, advancing
slowly eastward over the. Rocky
Mountain region, and increasing in in,
tensity, has given rain over the Rocky
mountain and plateau region and the
middle plains states. There was rain
also in the Pacific states and Arizona
1t is slightly warmer over the plains
states and slightly cooler over the
Rocky mountain region.
Indications are for fair weather in
the vicinity of Tampa tonight and on
Sunday. with moderate temperature.
