AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Leaf River about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Great Basin three days ago, and over the southern Plains a day ago, about 1,400 miles back along its path. It came down from about 12,300 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Mississippi Valley; 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.
