AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Detour about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Great Lakes three days ago, about 870 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 Great Lakes; at 10,000 feet, from the California coast. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
