        Just select Wind and set the altitude slider to 300hPa or 250hPa

          Of course, very easily : open the wind map, select the level at 250hPa or 300hPa and you will see the jet stream as illustrated :

          As you can see, the yellowish to white areas are the jet stream with today a wind speed above 200km/h. I also put the geopential levels which allow you to see the flow lines, which can be approx to the geopential lines.
