 Ohio valley. Minimum temperatures near the freezing point 

 occurred in northern New England. Frequent light to heavy 

 rains occurred during the first three days over large portions 

 of the interior districts. Seasonable amounts of precipitation 

 occurred in all districts east of the Rocky Mountains, except 

 along the northern border from North Dakota eastward over 

 the upper Lakes, portions of northern New York and north- 

 ern New England, and over portions of the immediate Gulf 

 coast. Over these districts the amounts recorded were light. 

 From the Rocky Mountains westward to the Pacific there 

 was a general absence of precipitation. 



Week ending June 28. — High atmospheric pressure over 

 the Gulf and South Atlantic States and generally low pres- 

 sure along the Canadian border were conditions that favored 

 the presence of warm southerly winds, clear skies and decid- 

 edly high temperatures. From the middle and upper Mis- 

 sissippi valley eastward the mean temperature for the week 

 ranged from 3° to 10° or more above the normal, the excess 

 increasing eastward, and attaining a maximum over New 

 England and portions of the Middle Atlantic States, where 

 the temperatures continued high during the entire week. 

 "With no well-defined storm area conditions were favorable to 

 local showers. The precipitation for the week was above 

 normal in the lower Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys, 

 in portions of the Lake region and over the Ohio and Ten- 

 nessee valleys. Precipitation was below normal over most 

 of the Atlantic coast districts from Maine to Florida, along 

 the northern border and generally from western portions of 

 the Plains States westward to the Pacific coast.
