Hicks for September.

Warm weather generally will most likely prevail at the opening of the month, with falling barometer, growing humidity and other storm indications spreading eastward from west and southwest. On and touching the 2nd and 4th no one should be surprised by storms of rain, wind and thunder. The chances are that frosts will occur northward about the 4th to the 7th.

The elements will reaot into storm conditions of more or less energy, progressing from west to east about the 7th and 9th. The regular storm period central on the 13th will almost certainly bring on a state of stormy weather that will continue in a general way into the reactionary storm days centering about the 17th and 18ch. One of the danger periods for September, especially in localities exposed to equinoctial storms, will be about the 17th, 18th and 19th. Watch all indications at this time,, and do not be surprised by very cool nights and frost, as soon as the low barometric area and storms move out of the way.

The last regular storm period for September is central on the 24th extending over the 22nd to the 27th. Another series of very decided equinoctial storms is both possible and probable at this time. The month closes in a reactionary storm disturbance, excited by the passage of the Moon over the equator on the 30th. On that date and into October Ist, autumnal thunder storms will touch many localities.
