The word “high” means high tarometric pressure and is usually sccompanied by fair westher: ‘“low” refers to low pressure, and is usually preceded and accomprn by cloudy weather and rains. “Lows"” usially first appear on the Washington coast. When t pressure is high in the interior and low along the coast, and the isobars extend north and south along the cosst, rain Is probable; but when the “low” 1s inclosed with isobars of imarked curvature, rain south of Oregon is {mprob- able. Witha “high” In the vicinity of Tdaho, and the pressure falling to the Cal rnia coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter.
