West to East
Weather patterns in the continental US generally move from west to east due to prevailing westerly winds. These winds bring weather systems across the country, influencing temperature, precipitation, and cloud cover in different regions. Additionally, topography and proximity to large bodies of water can also impact local weather patterns.
