Air in motion is called wind.It is seldom steady over a place.There are variations in the speed and direction with time.Usually wind blows when there is a pressure gradient between a low pressure area and a high pressure area.It blows from high pressure area to low pressure area.When this pressure gradient weakens, the air stops moving.Once the air stops moving,it is no longer called wind and the wind just vanishes and the air remains there.

Winds are caused because of the difference in temperature on land, in seas and oceans, and the higher altitudes. The heat from the sun heats up the earth crust and water being a bad conductor remains cooler than land which heats fast. This causes streams, currents and hurricanes to form. This what we experience as wind. Winds from seas lose strength, warm up and move up to cool down. So there is an upward convection current always by moving up of warm air and coming down of cold air. I must admit this is a very bad summary of the true complexity of winds please refer to the link below for details

Wind is a description of a motion of airborne particles. The particles are present whether in motion or at rest. Therefore they go as far as the wind has taken them.

Wind is air moving at a high velocity. It is subject to frictional losses as it transfers momentum to surfaces across or into which the air flows. Moreover, high-level "steering currents" keeps the air moving in a certain trajectory, which you can see on radar screens on the Weather Channel or other news shows.

This is a question about the reestablishing the equal pressure in the atmosphere. After the storm, the pressure is equal, and therefor no more wind.

Dylan said, " You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows! " so i really don't think i need a weather man to know where the wind goes. Like Kinky Friedman says...
" Start talking!...:) "

sun heats up ground/sea, warm air rises and creates low pressure. air rushes in to balance pressure(this is wind). in this way low pressure and high pressure areas move and merge and flow around the world, they grow and shrink and change shape until they fade out.
in answer to your question, it doesnt go anywhere it is replacing what rose earlier because it was warmer.

It doesn't go anywhere. Wind is the energy that moves the air.
The energy dissapates.

According to my wife it goes right up her nose, and she also says my wind stinks! can you imagine that?
