 second moderate depression developed Thursday and Friday 

 over the middle Plains region, and, moving slowly eastward, 

 gave unsettled, rainy weather over the middle and southern 

 portions of the country eastward to the Atlantic coast. 



Week ending July 25. — The week opened with moderate 

 temperatures and light northerly winds over all districts from 

 the Mississippi valley eastward to the Atlantic coast. The 

 winds changed gradually to warm southerly, with the drift 

 of the high-pressure area southward, and at the end of the 

 week southerly winds and high temperatures were general 

 over all northern and central districts from the Mississippi 

 valley eastward. Temperatures were generally high through- 

 out the week in districts west of the Mississippi valley. A 

 storm area of considerable extent moved from the Missouri 

 valley eastward over the Lake region to the St. Lawrence 

 valley, accompanied by local showers along the northern 

 border, with occasional heavy rains in portions of the Lake 

 region. Elsewhere the only rains were local thunderstorms 

 at widely scattered points and dates.
