Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from the Gulf of Alaska; at 10,000 feet, from interior Alaska. 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.
