    	Figure 1: Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901-1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for Iowa. Observed data are for 1900-2014. Projected changes for 2006-2100 are from global climate models for two possible futures: one in which greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase (higher emissions) and another in which greenhouse gas emissions increase at a slower rate (lower emissions). Temperatures in Iowa (orange line) have risen about 0.5°F since the beginning of the 20th century. Shading indicates the range of annual temperatures from the set of models. Observed temperatures are generally within the envelope of model simulations of the historical period (gray shading). Historically unprecedented warming is projected during the 21st century. Less warming is expected under a lower emissions future (the coldest years being about as warm as the hottest year in the historical record; green shading) and more warming under a higher emissions future (the hottest years being about 11°F warmer than the hottest year in the historical record; red shading)Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

The dark horizontal lines represent the long-term average. Over the past decade, Iowa has experienced annual precipitation several inches above the long-term average. The wettest 5-year period was 2006–2010, while the driest was 1952–1956. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

        Time series of the Palmer Drought Severity Index from the year 1000 to 2014. Values for 1895–2014 (red) are
        based on measured temperature and precipitation. Values prior to 1895 (blue) are estimated from indirect measures such as tree
        rings. The thick black line is a running 20-year average. In the modern era, the wet periods of the early 1900s and the dry
        period of the 1930s–1940s are evident. Despite occasional years of drought (2011–2012), Kansas has experienced
        overall wet conditions since the 1980s. The extended record indicates periodic occurrences of similar extended wet and dry
        periods. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

    Projected change in summer precipitation (%) for the middle of the 21st century compared to the late 20th century
        under a higher emissions pathway. Hatching represents areas where the majority of climate models indicate a statistically
        significant change. Summer precipitation is projected to decrease in the range of 5%–10% by 2050, although the changes are
        statistically significant only in the central part of the state. Source: CICS-NC, NOAA NCEI, and NEMAC.

    	Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for Kentucky. Observed data are for 1900–2014. Projected changes for 2006–2100 are from global climate models for two possible futures: one in which greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase (higher emissions) and another in which greenhouse gas emissions increase at a slower rate (lower emissions). Temperatures in Kentucky (orange lines) were highest in the 1930s, and lowest in the 1960s through the 1980s. Temperatures have risen about 2°F since the 1960s, but have not exceeded the levels of the 1930s. Shading indicates the range of annual temperatures from the set of models. Observed temperatures are generally within, but on the lower end of, the envelope of model simulations of the historical period (gray shading). Historically unprecedented warming is projected during the 21st century. Less warming is expected under a lower emissions future (the coldest years being about as warm as the hottest year in the historical record; green shading) and more warming under a higher emissions future (the hottest years being about 11°F warmer than the hottest year in the historical record; red shading).

    	The observed annual precipitation across Louisiana for 1895–2014, averaged over 5-year periods; these values are averages from NCEI’s version 2 climate division dataset. Louisiana receives abundant precipitation throughout the year. The most recent 10-year period (2005–2014) has been drier than average. The dark horizontal line is the long-term average of about 56.9 inches per year. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

    	Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for Maine. Observed data are for 1900–2014. Projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for Maine. Observed data are for 1900–2014. Projected changes for 2006–2100 are from global climate models for two possible futures: one in which greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase (higher emissions) and another in which greenhouse gas emissions increase at a slower rate (lower emissions). Temperatures in Maine (orange line) have risen nearly 3°F since the beginning of the 20th century. Shading indicates the range of annual temperatures from the set of models. Observed temperatures are generally within the envelope of model simulations of the historical period (gray shading). Historically unprecedented warming is projected during the 21st century. Less warming is expected under a lower emissions future (the coldest years being about 3°F warmer than the historical average; green shading) and more warming under a higher emissions future (the hottest years being about 16°F warmer than the historical average; red shading).

    	The observed number of very cold nights (annual number of days with minimum temperature below 0°F) for 1900–2014, averaged over 5-year periods; these values are averages from six long-term reporting stations. Periods of very cold nighttime temperatures have occurred episodically throughout the period of record. Since a period of above average number of very cold nights in the 1970s and 1980s, the observed number of such days has been below average, reflecting winter warming. The dark horizontal line is the long-term average (1900–2014) of 23.5 days per year. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.
