There is http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/uamap.html,
which has maps covering the Northern and Southern Hemisphere,
and more detailed maps for smaller regions.
For the jetstream you would look especially at 300 or 250 mb
level. For better readability, you may want to uncheck the
"Observations" checkbox, just keeping the "Analysis".

Very good! abstracting it into a /bin/sh script and going right for the plot

elif test $1 = N; then
DATE=${2:-0520} # mmdd
HOUR=${3:-12} # 00 or 12
MB=${4:-250} # 10 30 50 70 100 150 200 250 300 400 500 700 850 1000
NS=${5:-n} # n or s hemisphere
netscape http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/maps/2006$DATE$HOUR.$MB''a.$NS''h.gif
