because of our warming planet and at a faster rate than the land is warming. Warmer air holds more moisture. This is what's supercharging both hurricanes and typical rainstorms. NYC just got flooded because of such a rainstorm. I no longer trust any NOAA forecasts because the odds that the forecasting is being done by actual climate scientists rather than a no science Trump stooge are pretty low.
