AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Prairie Lake about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the southern Plains three days ago, about 1,100 miles back along its path. It came down from about 11,700 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from a point about 400 miles to the south; at 10,000 feet, from the central Plains. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
