New models coming out of pair of studies are showing that with climate change, we might be seeing less frequent storms in the mid to high latitudes, but those storms that do hit might be more intense. Over-all though, a net decrease in precipitation.

.."Joel Finnis, a CU-Boulder doctoral student and lead author of the second study, analyzed the effects of rising CO2 levels on both the frequency and moisture content of storms over the entire Northern Hemisphere. He found that in mid-latitudes, higher storm moisture content will be offset, and in some cases exceeded, by decreases in storm frequency. "..and more changes there
