AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Holmes City about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the central Plains three days ago, and over the southern Plains a day ago, about 1,240 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 10,800 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from Texas; 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.
