Weather forecasters study of anumberof things in determining what the weather will be, in the U.S., in a particular future period. One of the things they watch closest is the build­ up and movement of large polar air masses in the po­ lar regions. These air masses spill over and flow down over Canada and en­ ter the United States. They often bring coldor stormy weather. TTieir course can often be predicted. If fewer of these polar air masses are indicated, or if they seem weak, then it is likely that warm air masses will push upward and over the U.S.-- or at least over asouther- ly part of it. Taking these calcula­ tions under consideration, and other factors some­ thing more than a "guess" can be arrived at, although the "experts" still miss-- and weather remains some­ thing of a mystery.
