AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over McKinney Acres about 5,000 feet above the ground was over Texas three days ago, about 390 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
