AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Fritz Creek about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 370 miles to the southwest three days ago, and over the Gulf of Alaska a day ago, about 720 miles back along its path. It came down from about 10,000 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. 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.
