NOAA REPORTS WET, WARM YEAR FOR THE U.S. IN 2004
Hurricanes, Wildfires, Drought, Snowpack and Flooding All Notable
Dec. 16, 2004 — When 2004 ends, it will rank among the top 10 wettest years on record for the contiguous United States and is expected to be warmer than average, according to scientists at the NOAA Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. The findings are based on preliminary data and historical records dating back to 1895. While parts of the West remained in drought, rainfall was above average in 33 states, especially in the South and East, partly due to the effects of tropical storms and hurricanes, which impacted 20 states
