AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Bennington about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 260 miles to the south three days ago, about 650 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 10,000 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Ohio Valley; at 10,000 feet, from the southern Plains. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
