AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Nininger about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 350 miles to the south three days ago, and over the southern Plains a day ago, about 780 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 9,400 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from a point about 390 miles to the southeast; at 10,000 feet, from the southern Plains. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
