Mercury Hits New High-103;
Rain Brings Relief from Heat
Jupiter Pluvius opened the
sky valves Monday and let it
rain, let it rain, let it rain.
Intermittent showers that
continued throughout Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday netted
1.62 inches of welcomed mois
ture.
The rain, accompanied by
cooling winds that moved in
from Canada, brought relief
from a torrid heat wave which
held the midwest in its grip
over the weekend. A new high
for the season was recorded
Saturday afternoon, when the
thermometer registered 103
here. At the same time, Nor
folk and Sioux City reported
106 readings; Omaha and Lin
coln, 105.
The mercury skidded from
the season’s high of 103 to 46
three days later.
Torrential rains visited some
sections of the state, but in this
vicinity the fall was ‘made-to
order.’ Most of the moisture
soaked into the ground because
of the gentle, persistent nature
of the rain.
Observers predicted that had
the heat wave continued into
this week serious damage, par
ticularly to small grain, would
have resulted.
A washout on the Northwest
ern line between Fremont and
Omaha necessitated rerouting
trains on this line over the
mainline Union Pacific tracks,
and, as a result, the westbound
morning passenger operated
one- to four-hours late on Tues
day and Wednesday.
The week’s weather sum
mary, based on 24-hour periods
ending at 8 a.m. daily, follows:
Hi Lo Moist.
