AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Crooked Creek about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the central Plains three days ago, and over the southern Plains a day ago, about 810 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. It came down from about 9,300 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from a point about 300 miles to the south; at 10,000 feet, from Texas. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
