AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Ponto Lake about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the southern Rockies three days ago, and over the southern Plains a day ago, about 1,310 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 9,000 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Mississippi Valley; at 10,000 feet, from Texas. It feels humid. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
