Climatologist: Support Over the coming century, winter temperatures are likely to increase in the Rocky Mountains due to global warming. ████ ████ █████ █ ███████ ██████████ ██ █████████████ ██ ████ ██ ████ ███████ ██ █████ ██████████ ███ ████████ ████████ ████ ████████ ████ ████ ███████ ███ ███████ ██ ███ ███████ ███████ ██ ███████ ██████ ████████ ███ ████ ████████ █████ ██ ████ ██████ ████████
The author concludes that the mountain snowpack in the Rocky Mountains will probably melt more rapidly and earlier in the season, which will lead to greater spring flooding and less storable ater to meet summer demands. This is based on the fact that winter temperatures are likely to increase in the Rocky Mountains, and this will lead to a greater proportion of precipitation to fall as rain instead of snow.
The author assumes that when a greater proportion of precipitation falls as rain instead of snow, that will cause the mountain snowpack to melt faster and earlier in the season. The author also assumes that faster and earlier melting of a snowpack will lead to more spring flooding and less storable water.
