Weather Extremes Tied to Jet Stream Changes

WASHINGTON -- The jet stream, the river of air high above Earth that
generally dictates the weather, usually rushes rapidly from west to east
in a mostly straight direction.
.
But lately it seems to be wobbling and weaving like a drunken driver,
wreaking havoc as it goes.
.
The more the jet stream undulates north and south, the more changeable and
extreme the weather.
.
The most recent example occurred in mid-June when some towns in Alaska hit
record highs. McGrath, Alaska, recorded an all-time high of 94 degrees on
June 17. A few weeks earlier, the same spot was 15 degrees, the coldest
recorded for so late in the year.
.
You can blame the heat wave on a large northward bulge in the jet stream,
Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis said.
.
Several scientists are blaming weather whiplash - both high and low
extremes - on a jet stream that's not quite playing by its old rules. It's
a relatively new phenomenon that experts are still trying to understand.
.
Some say it's related to global warming, but others say it's not.
.
Upside-down weather also happened in May: Early California wildfires
fueled by heat contrasted with more than a foot of snow in Minnesota.
Seattle was the hottest spot in the nation one day, and Maine and
Edmonton, Canada, were warmer than Miami and Phoenix.
.
Consider these unusual occurrences over the past few years:
.
- The winter of 2011-12 seemed to disappear, with little snow and record
warmth in March. That was followed by the winter of 2012-13 when
nor'easters seemed to queue up to strike the same coastal areas
repeatedly.
.
- Superstorm Sandy took an odd left turn in October from the Atlantic
straight into New Jersey, something that happens once every 700 years or
so.
.
- One 12-month period had a record number of tornadoes. That was followed
by 12 months that set a record for lack of tornadoes.
