AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Cedar Key about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the central Gulf of America three days ago, and over the eastern Gulf of America a day ago, about 700 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. Near the ground the air came from the Atlantic off the Carolinas; at 10,000 feet, from the eastern Gulf of America. Air off the water carries moisture, which is why it feels humid. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
