An air mass usually brings the weather of the region it originated from. For example, a warm air mass from the tropics will bring warm and humid weather, while a cold air mass from the Arctic will bring cold and dry conditions.
A continental polar air mass typically brings cold and dry weather to the northeastern United States. This air mass originates over the high-latitude land areas of Canada and brings chilly temperatures and low humidity levels to the region.
When a cold air mass reaches a warm air mass, the warm air is forced to rise over the cold air due to its higher density. This interaction can lead to the formation of clouds, precipitation, and potentially severe weather such as thunderstorms.

The type of air mass that brings cold, dry weather to the northeast is a continental polar air mass, which forms over cold, polar regions and brings cold, stable air with low humidity. When this air mass moves southward into the northeast, it typically brings clear skies and cold temperatures.

A continental tropical air mass typically brings hot, dry weather. This type of air mass originates over arid regions and carries warm temperatures and low moisture content.

The main air masses that affect Ontario are the continental polar air mass from the north and the maritime air mass from the southeast. The continental polar air mass brings cold, dry air during the winter, while the maritime air mass brings warmer, more humid air during the summer. These air masses can lead to dynamic and sometimes unpredictable weather patterns in the region.
