Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Clam Gulch about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Gulf of Alaska three days ago, about 600 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from southcentral Alaska; at 10,000 feet, from the Gulf of Alaska. 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.
