No temp shown - infer in this case ask would"ve been because air being pulled down from n and up from s in large flow clockwise. Where is an area with very strong winds? close isobars. * he will only give us codes when talking about air masses. Maritime tropical in this case maybe off the coast of bc. But for sure southern on where the low is pulling up air from the south.
