Results: Mix some warm ocean water with atmospheric instability and you might have a recipe for a cyclone. (pnnl.gov)
The (apparent) slower rate of projected model warming for a higher absolute temperature may be related to other factors like cloud amount and geographical distribution at higher absolute humidity, or increases in convective transport (due to more atmospheric instability) at higher absolute humidity.

The major differentiating factors of this event included large amounts of moisture available, strong atmospheric instability, and a perfect orientation to the front ranges of the Rocky Mountains. (pacificclimate.org)
