    	Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for Vermont. 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 Vermont (orange line) have risen by more than 2°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 (grey shading). Historically unprecedented warming is projected to continue through the 21st century. Less warming is expected under a lower emissions future (the coldest years being about 2°F warmer than the historical average; green shading) and more warming under a higher emissions future (the hottest years being about 12°F warmer than the hottest year in the historical record; red shading).

    	The observed number of warm nights (annual number of days with minimum temperature above 70°F) for 1950–2014, averaged over 5-year periods; these values are averages from seven long-term reporting stations. The number of warm nights in Vermont has been above average during the early 21st century. A historically high number of warm nights (1.7 days per year) occurred during 2005–2009. The dark horizontal line is the long-term average of 0.9 days per year. The number of warm nights for the contiguous United States (bottom panel) is also shown to provide a longer and larger context. Very few long-term stations are available back to 1900 for Vermont. Source: CICS-NC/NOAA NCEI

        5-year periods; these values are averages from nine long-term
        reporting stations. The number of very cold nights dropped below
        the long-term average between the 1920s and 1960s, followed by
        an above average number of such events until the early 1990s.
        The number of very cold nights has remained below average for

    	Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for Washington. 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 Washington (orange line) have risen around 1.5°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 to continue through 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).

    	Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for West Virginia. Observed data are for 1895–2014. 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 West Virginia (orange line) were highest in the 1930s and lowest from the 1960s through the 1980s. Temperatures have risen about 1°F since the 1960s, and in the 21st century have been comparable the levels of the 1930s and early 1950s. 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 12°F warmer than the hottest year in the historical record; red shading).

    	The observed number of very cold days (annual number of days with maximum temperature below 0°F) for 1900-2014, averaged over 5-year periods; these values are averages from 28 long-term reporting stations. The number of extremely cold days has varied widely across the historical record. Wisconsin experienced the fewest number of very cold days during the period of 2000-2004, indicative of overall winter warming in the region. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

    	The observed annual precipitation across Wisconsin for 1895-2014, averaged over 5-year periods; these values are from NCEI’s version 2 climate division dataset. Annual precipitation varies widely, but recent years have seen generally above average precipitation. The wettest five-year period was 1982-1986 with an average of 35.69 inches, while the driest period on record (1929–1933) only averaged 27.09 inches. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

Lake Michigan-Huron has shown a statistically significant downward trend over the past 150 years. The trend is largely due to the high levels early in the period and extremely low levels during the 21st century. SOURCE: NOAA/NOS and CHS

    	Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for California. 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 California (orange line) have risen about 2°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 2°F warmer than the historical average; green shading) and more warming under a higher emissions future (the hottest years being about 9°F warmer than the hottest year in the historical record; red shading).
