But the tri-state area is expected to face more severe thunderstorms and tornadoes as the climate warms. These unfamiliar weather events will put these communities at higher risk because they’re not used to preparing for them.
“Where we have the clearest connection between those storms and climate changes through the precipitation intensity,” said Noah Diffenbaugh, a climate scientist at Stanford University. The warming atmosphere is expected to increase the energy available for severe thunderstorms. Another result of warmer, moister air is that it provides more convective energy for storms—a key ingredient that spins the air and creates tornadoes. Differences in wind speed and direction, known as winds heer, can also perpetuate the rotation behind tornadoes.
