AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Cranford about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Atlantic off the Carolinas three days ago, and over New England a day ago, about 1,600 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.
