Rain to Continue,
Says Weatherman
No immediate relief from the
deluge of rain which has satu
rated the campus for the past four
day is expected. Prof. Hans Neu
berger. head of the College
weather office, said yesterday.
The downpour which began
early Sunday morning totaled
3.97 inches by 1 p.m. yesterday,
and was still falling when the
measurement was taken.
Average rainfall for the month
of April is 3.44 inches. Prior to
the current heavy rains .81 inches
of precipitation had already been
recorded. making a total for the
month so far, with only 14 days
gone, of 4.78 inches.
Current weather conditions are
caused by a low pressure area
now covering the entire south
western part of the state, while a
high pressure area over New
foundland prevents this low pres
sure area from dispersing.
Heavy rains have been reported
not only at the College and sur
rounding areas. but also through
out most of the Ohio Valley, flood
stage at Pittsburgh was passed
yesterday and rivers are still
rising.
"This entirely normal phenom
enon of a low pressure area be
ing blocked off, makes it %.nlikely
that a sudden change in weather
conditions will occur," Prof. Neu
berger stated.
"On the contrary. conditions are
such that the current weather
picture may be expected to last
at least throughout most of to
morrow."
The College weather station
participated with the Uni t e d
States Weather Bureau, in con
junction with weather stations all
over the world. including ships at
sea. in a recent minute chick of
weather conditions on the earth.
The operation was in progress
from April 1 to 10.
