Unusually Cool Wave is Forecast by Weather Bureau.

Following the hot wave that recently caused death and suffering throughout the country, this week’s weather promises to furnish surprises in the other direction, with the result that unusually low summer temperature* probably will prevail. The weather bureau sees in an abnormally high barometric pressure over the interior of Canada and Alaska and relatively low pressure on the Atlantic the conditions that will usher in a cool wave. “This pressure distribution la strongly indicative of temperatures below the seasonal average the coming week," says the weather bureau report, “in practically all parts of the country. Temperatures will average near or above the normal with generally fair weather, except that occasional showers are probable in the southern Rocky Mountain regions. “The week will open with generally fair weather east of the Rockies, except that showers are probable during the next several days in the south Atlantic and Gulf states.

“An area of unsettled weather and showers will develop over the middle West about Thursday, and thence spread eastward to the Atlantic states by the latter part of the week.”
