AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Avon about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the southern Rockies three days ago, and over the Ohio Valley a day ago, about 1,680 miles back along its path. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from Georgia; at 10,000 feet, from British Columbia. It feels humid. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
