Abstract

The Great Plains region experiences a wide range of extreme weather and climate events that affect society, ecosystems, and infrastructure. The large longitudinal range from North Dakota and Montana in the north to Texas in the south contributes to the extreme range in hot and cold temperatures. Climatic phenomena that have major impacts on the Great Plains include droughts, floods, winter storms, convective storms, heat waves, cold waves, hurricanes, and sea-level rise along the coastal area of Texas. The coastal regions are affected by storms reaching in the Gulf of Mexico and convective storms across the region can lead to heavy rainfall conditions throughout the Great Plains in the summer.
