Outlook presentation from the September 25, 2017 California-Nevada Drought and Climate Outlook Webinar.
Opening presentation from the September 25, 2017 California-Nevada Drought and Climate Outlook Webinar.
Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Gulf of Maine Region for June – August 2017. Dated September 2017.
Summer was characterized by high variability in temperature, rainfall, and weather events. Moderate drought developed in portions of Maine and the Maritimes, while parts of Massachusetts and New Hampshire had several heavy rain events. There were multiple severe thunderstorm and flash flooding events throughout the
summer.
Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Northeast Region for June – August 2017. Dated September 2017.
Summer precipitation was variable, with drought developing in Maine and extreme rain and flash flooding in other areas. During summer, the Northeast averages 28 tornadoes (based on NOAA's Storm Prediction Center data from 1989–2013). This summer, 38 tornadoes touched down in the region: 11 in Pennsylvania, 10 in New York, 7 in Maine, 4 in West Virginia, 3 in Maryland, 2 in New Jersey, and 1 in Delaware.
Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Southeast Region for June – August 2017. Dated September 2017.
The California-Nevada Drought Early Warning System (DEWS) Strategic Plan outlines priority tasks and activities that build upon existing stakeholder networks to improve drought early warning capacity and long-term resilience in California and Nevada. It includes a list of current partners, outcomes, and key milestones. This Plan is a “living document” to which additional actions and partners may be added as needed.
The Coastal Carolinas DEWS Strategic Plan outlines priority tasks and activities that build upon existing stakeholder networks to improve drought early warning capacity and long-term resilience in the coastal areas of North and South Carolina. This is a “living document” to which additional actions and partners may be added as needs and opportunities arise. The Plan includes a list of current partners, outcomes, and key milestones for present activities as well as indicating areas where NIDIS is seeking additional partners or working to finalize details of some activities.
Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Hawaii and the U.S. Pacific Islands Region for May – July 2017. Dated August 2017.
Includes significant events and impacts for Q2 2017; regional climate overview; sectoral impacts, and regional outlook for August through October 2017.
The PNW DEWS Strategic Plan outlines priority tasks and activities to build drought early warning capacity and resilience. Partners across the region assisted NIDIS, the Pacific Northwest Climate Impacts Research Consortium(link is external) (CIRC, a NOAA RISA team), and the National Drought Mitigation Center (link is external)(NDMC) with the development of this Plan. The Plan includes a list of current partners, outcomes, and key milestones.
Current conditions as of July 2017; climate outlook. Information about CAL-Adapt and how CNAP is providing drought scenarois for it, as well as a short section on “What does above-normal precipitation mean for groundwater recharge?”
