AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Mosquito Lake about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Gulf of Alaska three days ago, and over Canada a day ago, about 420 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. 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.
