Week ending September 20. — An area of high pressure 

 and attendant cool weather occupied the districts from the 

 Missouri valley westward to the Pacific at the beginning of 

 the week, while to the eastward, under generally diminish- 

 ing pressure, the weather continued comparatively warm. 

 Cool weather continued over the Mountain and Plateau dis- 

 tricts during the week, but east of the Mississippi the tem- 

 perature was generally above the normal. During the closing 

 days of the week temperatures below freezing occurred in 

 northern New York and New England. Some heavy rains 

 occurred during the first two days of the week from the mid- 

 dle Mississippi valley eastward to the Lake region, and near 

 the middle of the week over the Gulf and South Atlantic 

 States ; aside from which the rains of the week were generally 

 light and unequally distributed. 



Week ending September 27. — There was a tendency 

 toward warmer weather over all the interior districts, espe- 

 cially in the northern Rocky Mountain region, at the be- 

 ginning of the week. This was followed by a cool wave 

 in these regions, with unusually cool weather on the 22d. 

 During the remainder of the week there were continued 

 low temperatures over all northern districts. There was an 

 excess of about 3° over northern New England. A severe 

 tropical storm entered the United States near the mouth of 

 the Mississippi River during the 20th, and continued north- 

 ward, with heavy rains, but decreasing winds. Some com- 

 paratively heavy rains occurred along the Atlantic coast 

 from Virginia northward to New England, and over the 

 lower Lake region on the 24th and 25th. Elsewhere the 

 rainfall was mostly light.
