Description: A cyclone in North America. "The effect of a cyclonic storm upon the weather is illustrated by the chartÉThe point of the heavy arrow lies in a storm center, around and into which the winds are whirling, as shown by the light arrows. To the east of the center the winds come from the south and southeast and make the weather warmÉ[on the western side of the storm the winds come from the north] these winds bring cool or cold weather to that regionÉThe storm center is moving all the timeÉthus, as the storm drifts rapidly eastward over the country, it pushes warmer weather along in front of it, and drags colder weather along in its rear.
