Oregon has only one station above 5,000 feet, but it too reported a strong increase in rain vs snow as winter precipitation.
As noted in the Key Climate Projections for Montana section (above), precipitation is projected to increase in some regions, and in some seasons, but not in others.
With higher precipitation, portions of this snow may not melt during the summer and so glacial ice can form at lower altitudes and more southerly latitudes, reducing the temperatures over land by increased albedo as noted above.
A model by the Purdue Climate Change Research Center in West Lafayette forecasts, by 2050, the full growing seasons will expand by one month; there will be 33 to 45 more days with temperatures above 90 degrees; an increase in precipitation between 14 percent and 22 percent; and 24 days to 36 days less snow cover.
«During November 2011 - January 2012, there is an increased chance of above - average temperatures across the south - central U.S. with the odds favoring below - average temperatures over the north - central U.S.. Also, above - average precipitation is favored across the northern tier of states, excluding New England, and drier - than - average conditions are more probable across the southern tier of the U.S. (see 3 - month seasonal outlook released on 20 October 2011).»
As for how this could be — and in light of the findings of the references listed above — Rankl et al. reasoned that «considering increasing precipitation in winter and decreasing summer mean and minimum temperatures across the upper Indus Basin since the 1960s,» plus the «short response times of small glaciers,» it is only logical to conclude that these facts «suggest a shift from negative to balanced or positive mass budgets in the 1980s or 1990s or even earlier, induced by changing climatic conditions since the 1960s.»
Projected temperature would increase by 2050 by about 2 °C above the current level (a warming similar to that predicted by the ensemble mean of the CMIP5 simulations) and precipitation would decrease by an additional 30 % compared to the current conditions.
The robustly project increased moisture flux convergence and precipitation in the pan-Arctic region over the 21st century, as did their AR4 counterparts (Kattsov et al., 2007; Rawlins et al., 2010 Then we get: since nearly all models project a large precipitation increase rising above the variability year - round, it is likely the pan-Arctic region will experience a statistically - significant increase in precipitation by mid-century.
Changing distributions of temperature, precipitation, and carbon dioxide could affect the potency of plant allergens, 43 and there has been an observed increase of 13 to 27 days in the ragweed pollen season at latitudes above 44 ° N. 43
However, above about 24 °C, the pattern at these locations is one in which the response of precipitation to increasing temperature appears to be weaker, eventually reversing.
A 2013 study modeled climate and water system (hydroclimate) changes in the Western US over the next three decades and found that increased temperature is the dominant factor, likely leading to several hydroclimate changes, including: decreases in spring snow pack, increases in cold - season days above freezing, and decreases in the cold - season snow - to - precipitation ratio.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140202111055.htm «The satellite observations have shown that warming of the tropical Indian Ocean and tropical Western Pacific Ocean — with resulting increased precipitation and water vapor there — causes the opposite effect of cooling in the TTL region above the warming sea surface.
Depending on the region, vulnerabilities in some areas to effects of precipitation increases (e.g., flooding, but could be positive) and in some areas to decreases (see drought above)
During the period 1900 - 2005, precipitation seems to have actually increased in areas above 30 degrees north latitude — including California and the rest of the U.S. — according to the most recent assessment from the United Nations» Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
