AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Moose Pass about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 240 miles to the west three days ago, and over southcentral Alaska a day ago, about 400 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 13,500 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. 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.
