For Texas and the Southwest
(Includes Ark, La, Okla, N Mex)
Week of April 25 to May 1, 1938,
in Texas and the southwest begins
with quite clear and warm weather,
but in a day or two clouds up and
some showery rains come on, carry-
ing considerable moisture to most of
the Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and
Louisiana country for two or three
days. Much of it showery and un-
evenly distributed, yet fair rains
may be expected in most sections.
By mid week turns colder and
around end of week quite general
clearing, or only a few local show-
ers about east and along gulf coast
line.
The temperature charts indicate
an unusually cold period with some
danger of frost’ in the northern sec-
tions shortly after middle of April
this year, then for the next ten days
a fairly steady rise in temperatures
to near end of month, and after
first week of May a period of un-
usually warm weather, yet a ' cold
snap comes on not far from middle
of the month. Regarding the rain-
fall for the next few months it must
be remembered that in all the coun-
try from the Rocky mountains to
the Atlantic coast there is a regular
annual rainy season which reaches
maximum near mid summer. This
year it is almost certain these heavy
seasonal rains will come on with no
dry sections anywhere.
