AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Bakerstown about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Gulf of Alaska three days ago, and over Ontario a day ago, about 2,570 miles back along its path. It came down from about 12,800 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from British Columbia; at 10,000 feet, from the open Pacific. 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

74° on Nov. 11, 2020, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1905. Next is 70° in 2021.
