“Extreme rainfall is projected to intensify as the climate warms, yet whether the greatest increases will occur in multi-day or single-day events remains uncertain. This knowledge gap is particularly pressing given recent catastrophic floods triggered by multi-day rainfall events, prompting the question of whether multi-day events could, in fact, intensify more than their daily counterparts, and by how much. This study addresses this question using an ensemble of 34 downscaled Earth System Models under two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5), focusing on changes in extreme rainfall by the end of the century across ten regions of the contiguous United States. [Their] statistical framework evaluates model agreement, ensemble-mean changes, and the significance of these changes for both daily and multi-day rainfall extremes. Results show that extreme rainfall amounts are expected to increase for most regions and durations. The degree of intensification, however, depends strongly on event rarity and regional climate characteristics. Notably, in the U.S. western Gulf Coast region, very rare multi-day events (e.g., 500 year return period) are projected to intensify more than their daily counterparts, a phenomenon that could be explained by increased stalling of tropical cyclones, which can prolong heavy rainfall over multiple days. These results challenge the assumption that daily extremes dominate future risk and highlight the need to consider event duration when updating flood-hazard maps, design standards, and adaptation planning…”

RT @MarcoIslandPD: 🚧 Flood Waters Alert🚧
Please be advised that due to Hurricane Idalia, some Marco Island streets and intersections may become flooded.
Continue to monitor emergency, social, and local news alerts for updates and safety information. -
RT @CollierEM: Never drive or walk through flooded streets. Turn Around Don't Drown! Do not go through flood waters.

In addition to the severe hazards that are expected today....locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding will also be a growing concern💧#FloodSafety

👣 Watch your step! Floodwaters often hide sharp and dangerous debris like broken glass & shards of metal!
🔌 Do not go into a room where water covers the electrical outlets or where cords are submerged

Although this is #FloodSafety Preparedness Week, it's worth highlighting a drought resource. Drought.gov is brought to you by NIDIS, a multi-agency partnership that coordinates drought services. #droughtpreparedness #FSPW2023 #gawx

It's the last day of #FloodSafety Week and we're talking about our partners! USGS is one of our vital partners, providing real-time water data to us for warnings. And yes, 'gage' is spelled correctly. Check their website out to see why! #FSPW2023 #gawx usgs.gov

Today is Day 4 of #FloodSafety Preparedness Week and we're talking about NWS Products and Services. Do you know the difference between a Watch and a Warning? It's never too early to learn! #FSPW2023 #gawx

NWS River Flood Warnings indicate Minor, Moderate or Major Flooding is occurring or will occur at a given stretch of a creek or river. Adjectives like 'epic' or 'biblical' may provide context, but aren't official categories. #gawx #FSPW2023 #floodsafety

When you drive into floodwaters, you’re not only putting your own life at risk, but also the lives of those who will be called in to rescue you. It’s far better to be late to work or to an appointment and remain safe, than to take a risk and possibly lose your life. #FloodSafety

PSA: if you’re in a situation where flood waters are rising around your car like this, staying in the car is probably the least safe place unless you have a window hammer. Climbing a tree is safer.
@unixmercenary ‘s maxim is “Don’t run from danger, run toward safety.”
Air runs out first. People who’ve gotten hypothermia can be treated, but dead cannot be.
