Weather patterns in the contiguous 48 states almost invariably move west to east overall.
Various directions at various times.Referring to weather patterns, U.S. weather generallymoves from West to East.
it the air moving and the air moves the clouds
Weather patterns usually move from west to east. Winds from the west, known as the prevailing westerlies, dominate at mid-latitudes, so a wind blowing all the way from Ireland to the U.S. East Coast is highly unlikely. That said, the global wind pattern is from the east at tropical latitudes from the equator to about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. Therefore, winds do blow to the west and can sometimes carry dust from Africa's Sahara Desert across the Atlantic to the Caribbean or even to the southeastern USA.
Usually they move east or northeast but not always. A tornado can move in any direction.
no
In general weather patterns move west to east, with the exception that weather patterns originating over the Caribbean move south to north up the east coast states.
In the United States cold weather can travel in several directions. It can travel southward from the north. It can travel eastward from the Pacific. Those are the most likely. However, in unusual cases it can come from other directions. Sometimes you will hear of a southeaster when cold weather comes from the south east.

Weather patters in the northern hemisphere, far from the equator, move from west to east. When you get closer to the equator, they'll move east to west.

For everyone in the US, our weather comes from the west and moves east. For the weather system closer to the equator moves comes from the east and moves west.
Summer Typhoons are usually loop around and then pass from south west to north east on the peninsula. Winter storms are usually Nor'WESTerners.
The general direction of weather over North America is west to east. That does not mean that any particular storm will move in that direction. Two meandering jet streams going from the west to the east drive weather patterns over North America.
Weather generally in southern hemisphere moves from the west to the east. eg. Weather in Perth AU arrives in Adelaide AU 2 days later and in Sydney AU 5 days later.There are different circumstances if there is an offshore low or Cyclone off the East coast where sometimes it will move East to West but only until landfall where it dissipates after hitting the Great Dividing Range.
