Much of the balance of New England, the mid-Atlantic and the lower Great Lakes region can expect some sunshine and a mild afternoon. A cool front is forecast to push a zone of clouds and showers across the Upper Midwest. Stormy and unsettled conditions will spread eastward over more of the South. Locally severe thunderstorms are likely to ignite along the central Gulf Coast with the risk of damaging winds, hail, flash flooding and isolated tornadoes. Heavy rain will fall inland.

A new report links three out of four such days to man's effects on cli- mate. And as climate change worsens around mid-cen- tury, that percentage of ex- tremely hot days being caused by man-made green- house gases will push past 95 percent, according to the new study published Mon- day in the journal Nature Climate Change. Humans have not had as great an effect on heavy downpours, though. The Swiss scientists who did the study calculated that 18 per- cent of extreme rain events are caused by global warm- ing. But if the world warms another two degrees Fahr- enheit — expected to hap- pen around mid-century — about 39 percent of the downpours would be attrib- utedtohumanity'sinfluence, according to the study. That influence comes from green- house gases, mostly carbon dioxide from the burning of coal, oil and gas. "This new study helps get the actual probability or odds of human influence," said University of Arizona climate scientist Jonathan Overpeck, who wasn't part of the research. "This is key: If you don't like hot tempera- ture extremes that we're get- ting, you now know how you can reduce the odds of such events by reducing green- house gas emissions." Lead author Erich Fischer, a climate scientist at ETH Zurich, a Swiss university, and colleague Reto Knutti examined just the hottest of hot days, the hottest one- tenth of one percent. Using 25 different computer mod- els. Fischer and Knutti sim- ulated a world without hu- man-caused greenhouse gas emissions and found those hot days happened once ev- ery three years. Then they calculated how many times they happen withthecurrentlevelofheat- trapping gases and the num- ber increases to four days. So three of the four are human caused, the team said. And when the scientists dialed up the greenhouse gases — using current pol- lution trends — to simulate a world about mid-century, they got 26 of those super- hot days, "almost a whole month," Fischer said. The figures that Fischer and Knutti calculated are global estimates. The mar- gins of error, plus or minus about 13 percent with cur- rent hot days, grow larger when smaller regions are considered. However, they found Africa and South America now have the highest percentages of un- usual hot days that could be blamed on human influence, 89 percent and 88 percent respectively. Europe, at 63 percent, and North America, with 67 percent, come in at the lowest. By mid-century, if emissions continue at cur- rent pace, all continents will be able blame at least 93 per- cent of super hot days on hu- mans. When people ask if a sin- gle weird weather event is due to human activity or just natural variation, that's the wrong question because both factors are always in- volved, said Princeton Uni- versity climate scientist Mi- chael Oppenheimer, who wasn't part of the study but praised it heavily. This study, he said, asks the right question: "How much of the change is due to human ac- tivity and how much is nat- ural variation?"
