AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Mackinaw about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the northern Rockies three days ago, and over the Great Lakes a day ago, about 1,480 miles back along its path. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from the central Plains; 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.
