AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Hooper Bay about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 12,790 miles to the east three days ago, about 16,290 miles back along its path. 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.
