FOR CHARLOTTE AND VICINITY

FOR NORTH CAROLINA Showers to-

WEATHER CONDITIONS A peculiar
feature of the weather maps for the -T
past two days has been the persistent
rain area confined almost entirely to th-
Atlantic coast districts, with fair, gen
erally clear weather in nearly all other
portions of the country. For th past
24 hours rainfall, except for light show- '
ers" at a few Western stations, occurred
only in Florida, Georgia, the Carolina,
east Tennessee and Virginia, the falls
being heavy to excessive at numerous
places In that territory. At Charlotte
1.82 Inches fell from 8 p. m. to. 8 a. m.
and the total amount since rain began
Saturday is 3.22 Inches. An extensive
high area centers In Missouri and If
causing clear and sunshiny weather from
the Atlantic States to the Rockies as a
rule. Its Influence should give clearing
conditions at Charlotte to-night or ar'jr
Wednesday. The pronounced disturb
ance in the far West hsjj moved but lit
tle, and centers Ip Utah (barometer
29.60 inches), attended by threatening
and warmer weather In the region west
of the Rockies. Slightly warmer weather
prevails at most places, though no decid
