AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Carbon Hill about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Gulf of Alaska three days ago, and over the northern Plains a day ago, about 2,880 miles back along its path. It came down from about 14,500 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Canadian Prairies; at 10,000 feet, from the Pacific north of Hawaii. 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

79° on Nov. 11, 2020, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1896. Next is 75° in 2002.
