the jet stream oscillates with larger and larger dips and "hills", thus drawing tropical air to the polar regions while at the same time either side of that hill it will drag polar air down to invade the lower 48, as it does so the temperature gradient becomes even sharper thus causing more tornadoes and extreme weather.
