The wind does not always blow from the west. In the northern hemisphere there are a number of air currents that move in different directions. The same is true for the southern. In the latitudes in which the US lies, the general direction of air movement is west to east, but this varies slightly depending on storm fronts.
Movement of the air is generally determined by Coriolis effects.
Air in the northern cell move easterly, air in the Hadley cells, nearer to the equator move in a westerly direction.
