As Prof. Tice's forecasts are intended to cover the entire continent he divides the time 

 into periods of three or four days each, because it requires that length of time "for a storm- 

 centre to pass from west to east across the continent.'' The Signal Service predictions apply 

 to the Upper Mississippi and Lower Missouri Valleys.
