SUMMARY

A t~rough-like barometric depres-
sion extended from northern Next
co northward across the United
States into south-central Canada at
the morning observation, followed
by moderately high pressure area
from the Northwest. Pressure was
still moderately high over the north
eastern states, and relatively low off
southern Florida. This pressure dis
tribution was attended by much
cloudy ard unsettled weather prac-
tically throughout the country, and
has caused more or less general pre-
cipitation in the far Southwest, the
Canadian Northwest, and from the
north-central states southeastward
To the south Atlrntic coast. Tenn
peratures have fallen considerably
in places in the far Northwest and
in the Plateau region since last re-
port. while above normal readings
still prevail in the states east Of the
Rocky Mountains.
