      Windy does a great job of showing present weather, but jet-streams drive that weather. If technically possible, such a field would be very useful. Thanks.

        The jet streams field is already shown by Windy. Select the Wind layer and set the altitude slider to 300hPa or 250hPa. You get the forecast path of the jet streams and their speeds.

        Furthermore you can add wind animation and Geopotential heights.

          Maybe users would like to get more details on jet streams, e.g. like in screenshot below; here, there are 3 different map overlays (wind barbs, streamlines and color shading palette) for parameter Wind (u, v) at 350 hPa (GFS0.25). Such a chart is widely used by forecasters.

          ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
