AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Volcano about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Pacific south of Hawaii three days ago, about 740 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.
