The direction of weather movements in the united states is primarily based on prevailing westerlies.
Prevailing westerlies are winds from the west toward the east in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude. They are also referred to as anti-trades. By doing this, they blow from the west to the eaststeering extratropical cyclones in this general manner.
