AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Ransom about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Great Lakes three days ago, about 1,030 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 Quebec; at 10,000 feet, from the Great Basin. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
