for the week was above normal in practically all portions of 

 the United States, except a few points in northern New Eng- 

 land, the lower Mississippi valley, points in the Rocky Moun- 

 tains and along the immediate Pacific coast. Showery 

 weather continued over most of the Great Plains and the 

 Mississippi valley districts until after the middle of the week, 

 and over portions of the Ohio valley, east Gulf States and 

 Atlantic coast districts unsettled weather continued till the 

 latter part of the week. Precipitation was well above normal 

 from eastern Texas eastward over the cotton belt, and over the 

 Atlantic coast and Appalachian Mountain districts as far 

 north as Maryland. It was slightly above over most of the 

 Lake region, portions of New York, New England, and 

 locally in portions of the middle Mississippi and lower Mis- 

 souri valleys. 



Week ending June llf. — Cool weather continued gener- 

 ally, as in the previous week, over the middle Mississippi and 

 upper Ohio valleys and Middle Atlantic States, and the 

 week as a whole continued cool also over the middle and 

 southern Plateau and Pacific coast districts. It continued 

 warm over the Gulf States, and was decidedly warmer than 

 previously from the upper Lakes westward to the Missouri 

 River valley and northern Rocky Mountain districts. In the 

 middle Mississippi and Ohio valleys, lower Lakes and Middle 

 Atlantic States the mean temperature was from 3° to 6° 

 below normal. The week opened with general rains over the 

 east Gulf and Atlantic coast districts, but was generally fair 

 elsewhere. Only local showers occurred thereafter until the 

 17th, when an extensive area of cloud and rain overspread 

 the middle and upper Mississippi valley and Lake region, 

 moving rapidly eastward the following day and bringing on 

 general rains in all eastern districts. Precipitation was 

 above normal generally over the east Gulf and South Atlantic 

 States and New England. 



Week ending June 21. — Cool weather for the season pre- 

 vailed during the greater part of the week over all northern 

 districts, and it was also cool over the Rocky Mountain, Pla- 

 teau and South Pacific coast States. From the Great Lakes 

 westward over the upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys
