AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Leech Lake about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the southern Rockies three days ago, about 1,270 miles back along its path. It came down from about 11,000 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Ozarks; at 10,000 feet, from the Great Basin. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
