How Will our Changing Climate Affect the Weather?


 Below is a 6 minute YouTube video that explains this climate/weather connection.   The jet stream plays an essential role in weather everywhere.   For PNW, being the first land mass for storms to hit, this is even more pronounced.    The jet stream is the Uber for storms developing in the Gulf of Alaska.   How fast and where the storms go is determined by the jet stream.  


The key point: The effects of a  warming arctic will slow down and possibly re-direct the jet stream.
