AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Blue Mounds about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the southern Plains three days ago, about 1,100 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. Near the ground the air came from the Ozarks; at 10,000 feet, from the southern Rockies. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
