AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Wood 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 1,170 miles back along its path. It came down from about 12,300 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Ohio Valley; 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.
