AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Gorton about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the northern Rockies three days ago, and over the southern Plains a day ago, about 1,750 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. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
