A fierce jet stream
A pronounced jet stream is causing bumpy rides for flyers all over the US today, concentrated over the central plains. Reports of moderate are the norm, with a few reports of moderate-severe and severe. Some planes will encounter a 200mph tailwind/headwind depending on direction of flight. Buckle up!
