AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Bremen about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Canadian Prairies three days ago, and over the Great Lakes a day ago, about 2,120 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from the central Plains; at 10,000 feet, from Canada. It feels dry all the same. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.

THIS WEEK, SIX YEARS AGO Nov. 11, 2020

The hottest this week has been

67° on Nov. 11, 2020, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1965. Next is 66° in 2022.
