Global warming may push more hurricanes toward the U.S. east and Gulf coasts--study

Mon, 2023-04-10 17:25 — mike kraft
Study says warming may push more hurricanes toward US coasts A new study says changes in air patterns as the world warms will likely push more and nastier hurricanes up against the United States’ east and Gulf coasts. Friday's study looks more at steering currents of future storms than past research, focusing on where storms will go instead of how big or frequent they will be. The study projects that in the future extra warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific will ripple through the atmosphere to push storms in the Atlantic more eastward toward the Southeast Coast and north in the Gulf of Mexico.

FORECAST: There will be "unsurvivable storm surge" in parts of Texas and Louisiana

Wed, 2020-08-26 12:06 — mike kraft

The National Hurricane Center is warning that Hurricane Laura could bring "unsurvivable" storm surge to parts of the US Gulf Coast

"Unsurvivable storm surge with large and destructive waves will cause catastrophic damage from Sea Rim State Park, Texas, to Intracoastal City, Louisiana, including Calcasieu and Sabine Lakes," the center said in its 11 a.m. ET update.

And it's not just people on the gulf who should be preparing: The latest advisory said the surge could "penetrate up to 30 miles inland from the immediate coastline.

"Only a few hours remain to protect life and property and all actions should be rushed to completion," the center urged.

Here's a look at the latest forecast path:   ....  (See full article.)

People all across the U.S. have been sweating through heat waves this summer, and new research suggests they should get used to it.

Over the next century, climate change will likely make extreme heat conditions—and their concordant health risks—much more frequent in nearly every part of the U.S., according to a paper published in the journal Environmental Research Communications. By the end of the century, it says, parts of the Gulf Coast states could experience more than 120 days per year that feel like they top 100°F.
