NOAA Forecast Warns of Widespread Flooding Risk This Summer
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on NOAA’s latest seasonal precipitation outlook, which predicts a heightened risk of flooding across parts of the U.S. this summer. Areas of concern include the central eastern coast, New Orleans, and low-lying cities such as New York and Washington, D.C., where heavy rainfall could cause serious damage. McIntyre highlights the vulnerability of cities like New Orleans, already below sea level and reliant on levees for protection.
