The hot winds of May 29th and 30th, 1892, occurred with 
an area of low pressure, which made its appearance over 
northwestern Montana on the 25th and moved to the north 
of Montana on the 26th, when it developed into a V shaped 
low pressure area which covered the eastern slope from the 
British possessions to western Texas. The low pressure 
moved slowly toward the east and deepened southward 
until the 29th, when a well defined secondary low r pressure 
area developed over the southeastern slope and remained 
nearly stationary until the afternoon of the 31st, when it 
moved off to the northeast. During this time an area of 
high pressure was in the Pacific off the coast of Oregon and 
California, and there was a well defined movement of the 
atmosphere from the Pacific coast across the divide toward 
the area of low pressure, with general rains to the west of 
the divide. (See plate 6.)
