 temperatures are in prospect. Precipitation is expected to exceed normal over 

 the middle and north Atlantic Coast States as well as Florida, the Pacific 

 Northwest and the central Pacific coast. Subnormal totals are indicated for the 

 northern Plains, the middle Mississippi Valley, the Tennessee Valley and eastern 

 portions of the southern Plains. Elsewhere near normal precipitation is in

Reprinted from Weekly and Crop Bulletin supplied by Environmental Data Service, 

 NOAA. 



PRECIPITATION : Cold rain and snow fell in the Northwest on several days last 

 week. Four inches of snow fell at Salt Lake City, Utah, in 6 hours Thursday. 

 This is second time in 40 years that more than a few flakes of snow have fallen 

 at Salt Lake City in September. Previous time was September 18, 1965, when 2.2 

 inches fell. Tropical Storm Olivia, off the coast of Baja California moved 

 northeastward. It brought generous showers to the arid Southwest late Wednesday. 

 Arizona and New Mexico benefitted most from these showers. Flagstaff, Arizona, 

 received 1.70 inches and 2.23 inches fell at Zuni , New Mexico, Thursday. A low 

 pressure area over the central Great Plains caused strong gusty winds from north- 

 western Oklahoma to western South Dakota. Gusts reached 61 m.p.h. at Russell, 

 Kansas, and 56 m.p.h. at Lincoln, Nebraska, elsewhere over the central Great 

 Plains gusts were generally 40 to 55 m.p.h. Hurricane Ginger, after meandering 

 in the Atlantic Ocean for almost 3 weeks, began moving toward the middle Atlantic
