Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature
for Alabama. Observed data are for 1900–2018. 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)1. Temperatures in Alabama (orange line) were high in the
1920s and 1930s then decreased by about 2°F into the 1960s and 1970s. Temperatures
have increased by about 1.5°F since the 1970s. Shading indicates the range of annual temperatures from the set of
models. Observed annual temperatures are generally within the envelope of model
simulations of the historical period (gray shading), but on the very low end. However, for summer daytime maximum temperatures, which have decreased
over the 20th century, this localized cooling is not well simulated by climate models. If Alabama were to continue to follow the low
end of model projected temperatures, by the end of the 21st century
average temperatures would be about as warm as the hottest historical
year under a lower emissions scenario (green shading) and about 4°F
warmer than the hottest historical year under a high emissions
scenario (red shading). Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

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. The
southeastern United States, including Alabama, is in a transition zone
between projected high latitude increases and subtropical decreases in
precipitation and, as such, future precipitation changes are uncertain.

caption: 'Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for Mississippi. Observed data are for 1900–2018. 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)1. Temperatures in Mississippi (orange line) were warmest in the 1920s and 1930s and coolest in the 1960s through the 1980s. Temperatures have remained near or slightly above average since the 1990s. 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), but on the very low end. If Mississippi were to continue to follow the low end of model projected temperatures, by the end of the 21st century temperatures would average about as warm as the hottest historical year under a lower emissions scenario and about 4°F warmer than the hottest historical year under a higher emissions scenario.

Water storage levels were generally low, and in some cases nearly zero, from the late 1940s to early 1980s. Following high levels during the 1980s and 1990s, a large decline occurred in the early 21st century in response to severe drought conditions. In 2004, 2013, and 2018, storage levels approached record lows due to the extended drought. Source: USBR.'

caption: 'Time series of the Palmer Drought Severity Index from the year 1000 to 2018. Values for 1895–2018 (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 1980s–1990s and the dry period of the 1950s are evident. The extended record indicates periodic occurrences of similar extended wet and dry periods. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.'

caption: "Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for North Carolina. Observed data are for 1900–2018. 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)1>. Temperatures in North Carolina (orange line) have risen almost 1°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 10°F warmer than the hottest year in the historical record; red shading).

caption: 'The observed number of very warm nights (annual number of days with minimum temperature at or above 75°F) for 1900–2018, averaged over 5-year periods (bars; last bar represents 4-year average). Filled circles connected by black line segments show annual values. The horizontal black line shows the long-term average for 1900–2018 is 4.6 nights per year. These values are averages from 19 long-term reporting stations. The second half of the 20th century was a cool period for North Carolina, with the frequency of very warm nights well below the long-term average. The 2010–2014 5-year period saw the largest number of very warm nights in the historical record—almost double the long-term average. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.'

caption: 'Number of tidal flood days per year for the observed record (orange bars) and projections for two possible futures: lower emissions (light blue) and higher emissions (dark blue) per calendar year for Wilmington, NC. Sea level rise has caused an increase in tidal floods associated with nuisance-level impacts. Nuisance floods are events in which water levels exceed the local threshold (set by NOAA’s National Weather Service) for minor impacts, such as road closures and overwhelmed storm drains. The greatest number of tidal flood days (all days exceeding the nuisance level threshold) occurred in 2014 and 2015 at Wilmington. Projected increases are large even under a lower emissions pathway. Near the end of the century, under both emissions pathway, some models project tidal flooding every day of the year. To see these and other projections under additional emissions pathways, please see the supplemental material at [https://statesummaries.ncics.org/pdfs/TidalFloods.pdf](https://statesummaries.ncics.org/pdfs/TidalFloods.pdf).
