Tae outlook on the corning of 27 Febru ry was very feverebdle

fren tne radsefe point of view.

The wines for shot cine were fere-

cast to be easterly fron the surface through 20,000 feet,
easterly at 30,00C feet, southerir et 45,000 feet, anc southvestesiy

at 50,090 feet.

Tne situation was cuenging sligntlr; 27 Fetmuary
