AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Hydaburg about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 1,010 miles to the west three days ago, and over British Columbia a day ago, about 1,220 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.
