AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Au Gres about 5,000 feet above the ground was over Canada three days ago, and over the Canadian Prairies a day ago, about 2,050 miles back along its path. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from British Columbia; at 10,000 feet, from the Gulf of Alaska. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. 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

75° on Nov. 11, 2020, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1895. Next is 75° in 2022.
