AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Tyonek about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 250 miles to the southwest three days ago, and over the Gulf of Alaska a day ago, about 440 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.
