Not illustrated. 1917 Excerpt: ...characteristics of all these storm areas. It should also be noted that all these storms lie on the ocean side of the paths of lows. This is not true of the storms which occur during the summer months, as may be seen by referring to maps for the third and fourth quarters. This is because the paths of summer lows are not as definite as those for winter lows, and they often remain in practically the same position for several days. A further reason is that many of the storms during the third and fourth quarters are due to thunderstorm conditions. Another feature of the southern group of the first and second quarters is, that, while the storms do not lie very far inland, they are far enough so that the 6-inch isohyetal does not intersect the coast line. This is a peculiarity that is not true of the storms of the third and fourth quarters, and is probably due to the fact that precipitation is not caused until the warm moist winds reach the higher and much colder plateau a short distance inland. The effect of this inland storm area in the lower Mississippi Valley is plainly evident on the isopluvial charts, figures 13 to 36. It is during the third quarter, May to July, that the greatest storms generally occur in the southern group. Two of the greatest storms of record in the United States, number 43, June 27-July 1, 1899, over Texas, and number 156, July 6-10, 1916, over Alabama and Georgia, occurred during this quarter. A total of 32 storms are included in this group. These are shown in figure 56, and it is very noticeable that they extend over the entire south from central Texas to the Atlantic Ocean. However, a slight concentration seems to exist along the Gulf Coast. The contrast between the southern storms of long duration, and the short, intense storms of th...
