moved eastward from the Pacific coast the barometer rose 
to over 30 inches and remained so during this period. 
Cloudless weather prevailed over the central and southeast¬ 
ern slopes on the 1st, 2d, and 3d. 
1889, June 18, Lincoln County , Nebraska .—Wheat in dough damaged by 
hot winds June 18th.* 
These hot winds accompanied an area of low pressure 
which appeared to the north of Montana on the morning of 
June 15 and moved slowly southeastward and extended 
down the eastern slope until the 18th, after which it moved 
rapidly to the northeast, reaching the upper lakes by the 
morning of the 19th. During the development and progress 
of this low pressure area there was an area of high pressure 
in the Pacific off the coast of Oregon. The movement of the 
atmosphere was generally eastward across the divide and 
cloudy weather, with some rain, prevailed over the Pacific- 
slope. Cloudless weather prevailed on the 18th over Ne¬ 
braska, Kansas, and the Indian Territory, while to the north, 
east, and south it was generally cloudy. 
1889, July 4 to 7.—Hot winds were reported from several counties in 
Nebraska and in Kansas on these dates and materially damaged the small 
grain crop where they occurred.* 
This period of hot winds accompanied an area of low 
pressure which appeared in the vicinity of Calgary, North¬ 
west Territory, on the morning of July 3, and moved east¬ 
ward and southward along the eastern slope, reaching the 
central portion on the morning of the 5th and remained 
there until the night of the 7th, when it filled up. During 
the progress of this low pressure area southward the barome¬ 
ter was about 30 inches over the western portions of Oregon 
and Washington, and the movement of the atmosphere was 
generally across the divide toward the low pressure area* 
with partly cloudy to cloudy weather.^ Cloudless weather 
prevailed over the eastern slope from Nebraska to Texas.
