Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys, and over limited 

 areas in Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. There was more 

 than the average in northern New England, portions of the 

 Ohio valley, local areas on the middle and south Atlantic 

 coasts, in southern Florida, portions of New Mexico, Arizona 

 and southern California and on the extreme north Pacific 

 coast. In most of the districts east of the Mississippi, 

 however, the precipitation was below the average, and a 

 large part of the Lake region, lower Ohio valley and the 

 interior of the Atlantic coast and the east Gulf districts 

 received no appreciable amount.
