eastward movement was comparatively slow, and cool weather 

 continued during the remainder of the week over the eastern 

 and southern districts, with occasional light frosts at exposed 

 points. During Friday and Saturday the temperatures were 

 seasonably warm throughout the central valleys, advancing 

 into the more eastern districts during Sunday. A tropical 

 disturbance in the Gulf district was accompanied by heavy 

 rains and high winds on the south Texas coast, with 10 inches 

 of rain at Brownsville and 5 inches at Corpus Christi. Dur- 

 ing the week scattered rains occurred in the Lake region and 

 Ohio valley and along the Atlantic coast, but no general rain 

 area crossed any portion of the United States. 



Weeh ending September 26. — The week opened with com- 

 paratively cool weather prevailing from the lower Lake 

 region to New England, with light frosts at exposed points 

 in the more northern districts. Over the remaining portion 

 of the country the temperatures were moderate, continuing 

 until about Wednesday, when an area of high pressure over- 

 spread the upper Mississippi valley and Lake Superior 

 region, accompanied by considerably cooler weather, which, 

 advancing eastward during Thursday and Friday, brought 

 the coldest weather of the season to date over portions of 

 ]!^ew England and the ISTorth Atlantic States. Unsettled 

 weather conditions prevailed in the Ohio valley at the begin- 

 ning of the week, and moved eastward, bringing local showers. 

 During Wednesday and Thursday a considerable rain area 

 overspread the upper Missouri valley and portions of the 

 Rocky Mountain region, moving into the lower Missouri and 

 middle Mississippi valleys and Lake region during the follow- 

 ing two days, accompanied by rather general and occasionally 

 heavy rains.
