Hurricane Helene was a 1-in-1000-year event, and the deadliest tropical system to strike the mainland United States since Katrina in 2005. Read more in our new story map: bit.ly/HeleneStoryMap

The published form of our new attribution study is now out (#OpenAccess): doi.org/10.1088/2752-5295/ad… This work looks into the long-lasting heat wave across Texas and Louisiana last summer. This is a part of a broader NOAA effort on attribution. Graphic by cpo.noaa.gov/divisions-progr…
Diagram that shows the rapid attribution prototype by NOAA, which includes steps as 1) research and development, 2) monitoring and triggering, 3) observational analysis, 4) causal analysis, and 5) communication of findings. This relates to the new study by Schreck et al. (2024, ERCL).

NCICS’s @carl_schreck and colleagues are developing a process for @NOAA to rapidly assess the effects of climate change on specific extreme events. They’ve published results for a 2023 test case in Environmental Research: Climate. Learn more buff.ly/4e8NiYG @IOPPublishing

Research from @carl_schreck and @JohnUehling on increases in precipitation from tropical cyclones is highlighted in this story on Hurricane #Debby, from @SavannahNow savannahnow.com/story/weathe…

Dawdling Debby's Savannah stay follows trend of slow, increasingly wet tropical storms

Debby turned out to be downright trendy during its visit to coastal Georgia and the South Carolina Lowcountry, experts say.

As detailed in this @insideclimate story, the widespread heavy rainfall from Hurricane #Debby is consistent with a trend documented in a new paper by NCICS’ @JohnUehling and @carl_schreck. bit.ly/3LZ5h8t

Uehling tells Inside Climate that #Debby is “a classic case of what we’ve seen a lot in recent years…a stalling storm near the coastline that basically dumps rain over the same areas for an extended and prolonged period of time.”

NC State Climatologist @KathieDello describes the #climate change influence: "We’re pulling more of that moisture into the air and essentially supercharging the atmosphere. Or, as I like to say, get a cup of coffee and pour in a few shots of espresso.” bit.ly/3LZ5h8t
