Weather expert Major Edward H. Bowie explains how a normal low pressure area off Greenland governs U S weather. He notes the spot’s south and west movement has caused rain floods and tornadoes from the Atlantic coast to the Dakotas, while Pacific coast droughts arise from Alaska’s low moving toward Japan. The pendulum of weather will swing back toward normal, Bowie predicts.
