🌀Hurricane Isaias rapidly intensified into a Category 3 storm Friday, fueled by exceptionally warm Gulf of Mexico waters.
Landfall is forecast along the Gulf Coast between Alabama and Florida later today.
🚨Human-caused climate change made the record-warm waters fueling Isaias up to 600 times more likely. The waters where it formed were up to 800 times more likely.
These exceptionally warm waters can significantly boost a storm’s potential strength.

Not all warming is the same. El Niño and human-caused climate change warm the planet in different ways:
🔵Human-caused climate change warms the entire planet over the long-term
🔵Warming from El Niño is temporary, affecting specific regions

🚨Extreme heat is persisting across California, with temperatures reaching above 100°F in parts of the state through October 7🚨
These temperatures are up to 20°F above average for this time of year.
🌡️From October 5-10, more than 94% of the Golden State will experience at least one day with maximum temperatures reaching a Climate Shift Index Level 2 or higher, indicating an exceptional influence from climate change.

The Colorado River is shrinking. And cities like Las Vegas and Phoenix are investing billions in water recycling, conservation, and new infrastructure as they race to prepare for a future with less water.
➡️Explore the story from #ClimateCentral: climatecentral.org/video/as-…
Mandatory cuts imposed by the federal government on water from the Colorado River will soon take effect in Arizona, Nevada, and California.
Now, some water managers in the region are spending billions to prepare for a drier future.
Special correspondent Ben Tracy with Climate Central (@ClimateCentral) reports for our series, Tipping Point.
🚨Sea surface temperatures in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico where #Invest92L is located have been made 300–800 times more likely by human-caused climate change🚨
🌊The @NHC_Atlantic gives the area of low pressure a 90% chance of tropical development by mid-week. Approximately 4–6 inches of rain is also possible along portions of the Gulf Coast, regardless of development.

Wildfires aren’t just about the flames. Across the U.S., human-caused climate change has fueled more fire activity and:
🔥Increased fire weather
📈Expanded burned areas
More fire can mean more smoke — and greater health risks. Read via #ClimateCentral: climatecentral.org/climate-m…
🌊A strengthening nor’easter is bringing heavy rain, strong winds, & coastal flooding along the U.S. East Coast this weekend!
Coastal flooding has already affected portions of Virginia & North Carolina, with ocean overwash closing a miles-long stretch of road on the Outer Banks.
The storm’s most significant impacts include 40–60 MPH coastal wind gusts, 2–4 inches of rain, and breaking waves ranging between 6–17 feet along the Massachusetts coast.
