AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Clayton about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Maritimes three days ago, and over Quebec a day ago, about 830 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from a point about 730 miles to the northeast; at 10,000 feet, from Quebec. 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.
