===Dust Bowl=== Evidence suggests the jet stream was at least partly responsible for the widespread drought conditions during the 1930s [[Dust Bowl]] in the Midwest United States. Normally, the jet stream flows east over the [[Gulf of Mexico]] and turns northward pulling up moisture and dumping [[rain]] onto the [[Great Plains]]. During the Dust Bowl, the jet stream weakened and changed course traveling farther south than normal. This starved the Great Plains and other areas of the Midwest of rainfall, causing extraordinary drought conditions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thoughtco.com/1930s-dust-bowl-drought-3444382|title=What Caused the U.S. Dust Bowl Drought of the 1930s?|last=Oblack|first=Rachelle|website=ThoughtCo|language=en|access-date=2019-07-02|archive-date=2 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190702152954/https://www.thoughtco.com/1930s-dust-bowl-drought-3444382|url-status=live}}</ref>
