AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Haines about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 860 miles to the southwest three days ago, and over British Columbia a day ago, about 990 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from a point about 910 miles to the southwest; at 10,000 feet, from the Bering Sea. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.
