Jet Streaming Along the Polar Front
The polar front and its associated jet stream have a major influence on the weather conditions surrounding it. Many storms form along the polar front in the vicinity of the jet stream's maximum winds. Because the jet stream is associated with the polar front, media weather maps often include the jet stream's position as a rough indicator of warm and cold air masses.

A Jet Stream Runs Through It
High above the Earth's surface, rivers of air rush their way around the globe in a high speed current that often spawns side eddies that we on the ground call cyclones. Knowledge of the position of these streams, known as the <i>jet stream</i> because of their speed, is vital to accurate general weather forecasts and severe storm predictions. Knowledge of the location of the jet stream is also important to airlines and other long-distant air transportation.

A few years ago weather predictions were accurate within two weeks. This year my Almanac has been very accurate - and its predicting a very dry century for North America. Will it be a dry milennium?
