AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Lower about 5,000 feet above the ground was over New England three days ago, and over the Great Lakes a day ago, about 1,580 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. It rose from near the ground on the way. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
