AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Pilot Point about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Bering Sea three days ago, about 1,480 miles back along its path. It came down from about 9,000 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. 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.
