Which best explains why North Carolina's winter weather could vary from what is normally predicted during a La Nina event?
A slight dip in the jet stream could bring colder weather
Prevailing westerlies will push air masses from west to east
Cold air from the Gulf Stream could interact with the jet stream and cause winter storms
Strong surface currents can push hurricane storms away from the North Carolina coastline
How does the jet stream affect weather conditions around the world?
The strong wind current of the jet stream pushes weather systems around the world
The weak wind current of the jet stream redirects weather systems
The strong wind current of the jet stream prevents weather systems from moving around the world
