AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Canton about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the southern Plains three days ago, and over the Mississippi Valley a day ago, about 820 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. Near the ground the air came from the Great Lakes; 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.
