AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Slayton about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the southern Plains three days ago, and over Texas a day ago, about 1,210 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. Near the ground the air came from the Ozarks; at 10,000 feet, from the northern Rockies. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
