Review of the Weather Chart Shows Wide Cold Front
The signal service chart for Monday shows a high barometer area centered in Pennsylvania and stretching from northern Florida to Mackinaw, with clear cold weather and a 10 above zero reading at Northfield Vermont. A low barometer area in northern Texas covers most of the West except the extreme Northwest, bringing warmer weather and heavy rain in Fort Smith and Fort Gill, with Leavenworth near an inch. The Northwest barometer falls as a new storm forms, while the outlook calls for warmer fair weather becoming cloudy and likely rain by Wednesday as the low approaches the West.
