AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Stony River about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Bering Sea three days ago, about 1,150 miles back along its path. It came down from about 12,100 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from a point about 100 miles to the southwest; at 10,000 feet, from the Bering Sea. 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.
