Sometimes one is better off being innovative. The following tale is not wind related but still is pertinent to the discussion.
Years ago, MEL-CBR, I can recall a dreadful weather pattern with TS enroute all day. The majority of the burners were going to normalish levels and then diverting ridiculous track miles to avoid returns.
One DC9 crew took a more pragmatic approach, flew comparatively low, well under the cells, and trundled back and forth for their tour of duty .. no significant weather problems .. and kept easily to schedule.
Fortunately, CTA LL were compatible with the strategy.
