Modeled precipitation map

Do models agree on how global warming will change precipitation across North America? In one CMIP experiment, fourteen global climate models projected how summer (June-August) precipitation would change by  2070-2099 compared to modeled precipitation from 1961-1990. Our featured image has more detail.  Map by NOAA Climate.gov, based on data from Baird Langenbrunner and David Neelin, Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of California - Los Angeles.
