Mid-USA just went through a 2nd, 100 year flood in 15 months. While the 5-day future forecast gave people time to sandbag and prepare it was disheartening and depressing. Clean up continues while questions, of how many more 100 yr., 500yr. or worse floods are coming, remain. People far away from coasts are facing a stay or go decision now. For them the rising tide has already come.
Will future forecasts be able to take into account jet stream loops elongated and intensified beyond historical precedent? Will the historical jet stream survive, morph into something unknown, or just disappear?
