AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Sand Point about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 11,410 miles to the east three days ago, and over the open Pacific a day ago, about 16,830 miles back along its path. It came down from about 12,500 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.
