Description:

This document has two main sections: one on historical conditions and trends, and the other on future conditions as simulated by climate models. The historical section concentrates on temperature and precipitation, primarily based on analyses of data from the National Weather Service’s (NWS) Cooperative Observer Network, which has been in operation since the late 19th century. Additional climate features are discussed based on the availability of information. The future simulations section is exclusively focused on temperature and precipitation.
