Weather Man
Says 1t Ought
To Be Pleasant
BY The Associated Press

North and South Carolina
could expect continued pleasant
weather Sunday and Monday
with slowly rising temperatures.
The Weather Bureau said tenn
peratures Sunday afternoon
would range only few degrees
higher than Saturdays which
kept generally in the middle 80's.
Whether the tropical hurri-
cane which was 400 miles south
of Key West this afternoon
would affect the weather in the
Carolinas depends on its move.
ment, the weatherman said.
Ii it follows its present course.
he continued, it will move along
the gulf coast, and send temper
atures higher in the Carolinas
about the middle of next week.
Meanwhile, cold air mass
was moving down from northern
Canada into the Great Plains.
But, the forecaster predicted, it
would be felt principally north
of the Carolinas. Circulation
conditions, however, would bring
temperatures down in the two
states. However, the effects of
the cold air mass would not
be felt in the Carolinas until
Tuesday or Wednesday.
The mercury reached no high
er than 86 Saturday in either
state.
