CHARTS I-XV

NOTE.--Beginning with this issue, 200- and 100-mb. charts will be included with the upper air mean charts at the end of each issue. These charts, XVI and XVII, are similar in all respects to Charts XII-XV except that there are no pibal winds at 200 and 100 mb. These are being prepared in answer to the ever increasing interest for information regarding meteor- ological conditions at higher and higher levels of the atmosphere. Although this need has been apparent for quite some time, the preparation of charts for these surfaces has not heretofore been possible due to the lack of sufficient data on a regular basis. it is believed that data are now being regularly received in sufficient quantity to prepare realistic presentations of climatological conditions at these surfaces. It should be noted that with this issue there is a change in the manner of plotting the resultant winds on Charts XII-XVII. The winds shown in red are from rawin reports and are for the same level as the contours and isotherms. The winds in black are from pibal re- ports at 2100 GMT and are for the nearest height level. In addition, wind speeds are indi- cated in knots: a flag equals 50 knots, a full barb 10 knots, and a half barb 5 knots.

NOTE.--This publication contains all of the climatic data for- merly printed in the MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW.

Total loss at rI IWestfield over $250,000, affecting powerlines, 3 I I a utomobiles, and over 150 trees. Visible funnel without great violence seen in town center, but i i main as on ground with no i tornado described cloud definite funnel shape. Observer 2 miles north of i Chicopee Center, 8 miles northeast of WeIstfield, I saw storm approach as funnel cloud aloft, and end iI of her hose exploded outward as it passed over- i | head. Total damage in Chicopee area estimated at $15,000, occurring at about 3 p.m. Another storm, possible tornado, struck a few miles eastward of this path, in West Springfield and Springfield, with much damage to trees and powerlines. Rotary motion in direction of felled trees evident, but I funnel not seen; time near 3 p.s.; damage esti- mated at $25,000 in this area. A woman narrowly escaped death in Holyoke when chimney fell on her automobile moments after she left it; damage in Holyoke estimated at 85,000; 0.60 inch of rain fell in 5 minutes. Storm continued northeastward with less violence, but at Hubbardston a 500-pound chicken shelter lifted into air and other buildings upended; hail diameter here 3/4 inch, accompanied by low clouds not described as a funnel; time about 3:30 p.m. Over Fitchburg,circus tent "bal- loomed up' pulling stakes and collapsing to injure 12 or more of the crowd as storm passed at about 4 p.m. At about 4:20 p.m. , barn 200 by 20 feet completely demolished and scattered over I acre of land, with loss of livestock $200 and property $5,000. Additional damage by fallen trees, etc., brings total damages to about $10,000. This storm is thoughtto have been tornado, although no funnel seen, based on hit and skip nature, changes of direction of path, and twisting of debris. Other damages along State included many i | path across I phone and powerline- out and trees felled. Phone i I services particularly hit at Indian Orchard, i Chicopee, West Springfield, Ludlow, Agawam, and I East Longmeadow. Many buildings struck by light- i I ning, including homes in Westfield, Feeding Hills, and Holyoke. Rail fell at many points across State, ostly of pea sime.

Average sea level pressures are obtained from the averages of the 7:30 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. E. S. T. readings. Windroses show percentage of time wind blew from 16 compass points or was calm during the month. Pressure normals are computed for stations having at least 10 years of record and for 100 inter- sections in a diamond grid based on readings from the Historical Weather Maps (1899-1939) for the 20 years of most complete data coverage prior to 1940.
