WEATHER OF THE WEEK ENDING AUGUST 30 



Reprinted from Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin supplied by Environmental Data 

 Service, NOAA, 



HIGHLIGHTS : Temperatures averaged near normal over most of the Nation. Tropical 

 Storm Doria, drenched the Atlantic coast late in the week. 



PRECIPITATION : Lines of thunderstorms marched across the Great Lake region to 

 New England early in the week. In the Chicago, Illinois, area some of the thunder- 

 storms were accompanied by strong winds, hail, and heavy showers. A tornado near 

 Naperville about 30 miles west of Chicago destroyed 2 residences. Winds at Lake 

 Forest, northwest of Chicago gusted to 60 m.p.h. and hail up to 0.75 inch in 

 diameter accompanied strong winds. Other thunderstorms dotted the southwest 

 central Rocky Mountains and Gulf States. Over 2 inches of rain fell in spots 

 north of Abiliene, Texas, and some localities near the Gulf of Mexico from Texas 

 to Florida, received over 1 inch of rain late Tuesday and early Wednesday. 

 Tropical Storm Doria, moved northward along the Atlantic coast late in the week, 

 soaking most areas with 4 to more than 6 inches of rain. Trenton, New Jersey, 

 received 6.05 inches Friday. The weekly total at Trenton was 8.09 inches. Winds 

 associated with Tropical Storm Doria were generally about 60 m.p.h., but gusts 

 occasionally approached hurricane speed. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, recorded 

 74 m.p.h. gusts and Bridgeport, Connecticut, 75 m.p.h. gusts. Doria lost much 

 of her energy as she moved across New England Saturday. Flooding and wind damage 

 were widespread but pleasant weather returned to most of Northeast by Sunday. 

 A new tropical depression moved westward across the Florida Peninsula Sunday 

 night. This depression is about 100 miles west of Tampa.
