AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Wilmington about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Ohio Valley three days ago, about 550 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. Near the ground the air came from the Great Lakes; 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.
