ok. it is not only the jet stream, but the earths rotation, wind, heat currents, and believe it or not, ocean temps. Warm air rises at the equator, moves north(northern hemisphere) and sinks as it cools. This type of convection current continues to the poles. Therefore creating the jet stream and the earths rotation makes our weather work. The ocean temps. determine how much humidity can be released into the air. Also check the weather channel site and ask them also.

that is easy : water flows from hight to low, (out of the mountains into the sea)
same holds for storm movement.
It runs from high air-pressure to low air-pressure
