AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Whitestone Logging Camp about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 930 miles to the west three days ago, and over British Columbia a day ago, about 1,140 miles back along its path. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from the open Pacific; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 1,000 miles to the west. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.
