As repetitive storms keep hammering the middle of North America, at least some of them, earlier in the month, were associated with a “stalled” system, and a split jet stream, which, while not unique, was rather large and seems implicated in the drawn out nature of the precipitation events at that time.
The video above is a rough version of one of the last pieces I did for Yale Climate Connections. Scientists discuss how climate is affecting jet stream flows, and potentially causing more damaging storms.
Weirdly, and all too predictably, Yale has removed all of my videos from “public” listing, I suspect because of finicky bureaucratic concerns about copyrights on news footage etc.
Oh well.
Below, April’s split jet.
