Climate scientists have long watched the jet stream with fascination and growing concern. These rivers of air racing across our planet at altitudes of roughly 5-9 miles dictate much of our day-to-day ...

First, instead of moving storms quickly eastward, the sluggish jet stream stalled storm systems in place, causing prolonged ...

Jet streams are often referred to as the "motor" of global weather: High-altitude wind currents steer areas of high and low pressure, playing a crucial role in shaping our weather. However, how these ...

We’ve got two storm systems that’ll bring impactful weather to the Stateline, with the first arriving Thursday and the second ...

The frigid stream of air that plunged down into the Central U.S. this week is breaking cold records from South Dakota to Texas, with temperatures in the single digits setting records in many locations ...

We talk about the jet stream all the time when we’re telling you about the upcoming forecast. It’s one of the most important things in our sky that affects whether you see snow or sun at your home.

Dartmouth researchers used machine learning and long-term climate records to construct a timeline of jet-stream variability since 1901. Nearly all prior studies of the jet stream focus on the period ...

Serious injuries from in-flight turbulence are rare, but scientists say they may be becoming more common as climate change alters the jet stream. On Wednesday, 25 people were injured on a flight from ...

The daily weather we experience is largely shaped by atmospheric conditions nearly 30,000 feet above us, where a key factor is the weather phenomenon known as the jet stream. Think of a jet stream as ...

In South America, southern Africa, Australia and Oceania, summer weather is heavily influenced by the Southern Hemisphere’s Eddy-Driven Jet (EDJ), a wind belt that flows between 1.3–1.5 kilometres ...
