AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Los Angeles at 5,000 feet was over southern California three days ago, and over the Pacific off California a day ago, about 580 miles back along its path. Even over land it has kept its moisture, which is why it feels humid. Traced hour by hour through GFS analyses of the 850 hPa wind.
