I don't have access to specific weather maps or data from May 6th to May 7th in Salem, Oregon, as I can't retrieve real-time or historical data outside of my training cut-off in October 2021. However, I can provide a general guideline on how to analyze air masses based on common weather patterns and meteorology.
To describe the location of air masses around Salem, Oregon during that time, you would typically look for certain types of features on a weather map:
-
Cold Fronts: These often bring cooler and more unstable air. If a cold front was passing through or nearby Salem, you would expect a change in temperature, increased cloud cover, and potential precipitation.
-
Warm Fronts: These usually indicate warmer, more humid air moving into the region. If a warm front was approaching or had recently passed over Salem, you might observe rising temperatures and possibly cloudy skies with light precipitation.
-
Stationary Fronts: These occur when neither a cold nor warm front is dominant. This could suggest prolonged cloudy conditions and possible steady precipitation.
-
Air Masses: Look for polar (cold) or tropical (warm) air masses. The interaction between different air masses—like maritime tropical (mT) from the Pacific Ocean and continental polar (cP) from Canada—could provide clues on local weather conditions.
-
High and Low Pressure Systems: A low-pressure system typically indicates stormy weather, while high-pressure systems are associated with fair weather. Observing the location of these systems can help understand which air masses are dominant.
If you have specific data for Salem, Oregon from those dates, you would analyze the temperatures, wind patterns, and humidity levels alongside the identified air masses to provide a more detailed description of the weather.
For a direct analysis, I recommend checking weather archives, national weather service reports, or local historical weather data for specific insights into the conditions in Salem during those days.
