Global warming may push more hurricanes toward the U.S. east and Gulf coasts--study

Mon, 2023-04-10 17:25 — mike kraft

Friday's study looks more at steering currents of future storms than past research, focusing on where storms will go instead of how big or frequent they will be. The study projects that in the future extra warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific will ripple through the atmosphere to push storms in the Atlantic more eastward toward the Southeast Coast and north in the Gulf of Mexico.
