AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Minnesota Falls about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Gulf Coast three days ago, and over Texas a day ago, about 1,320 miles back along its path. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from the Ohio Valley; at 10,000 feet, from the Ozarks. Air off the water carries moisture, which is why it feels humid. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
