Jeff Warner, a meteorologist at Pennsylvania State University, said that when that kind of storm system collides with that kind of moist air, "the potential for rain really goes up".
The potential for rain water harvesting was only partly exploited.
Because of moisture deficiency and coarse texture, they lack potential for rain-fed agriculture.
These soils are formed from volcanic material and, with proper management, have medium to high potential for rain-fed agriculture.
The storm is expected to drop back down to a tropical storm before pushing into Georgia, the Carolinas and up the east coast with the potential for heavy rain and deadly flooding.
Other criticism have focused on the potential for clearing rain forests and other environmentally valuable land for sugarcane production, such as the Amazonia, the Pantanal or the Cerrado.
This shift in the jet stream brings much of the annual precipitation to the region, and also brings the potential for heavy rain and strong low pressure systems.
This shift in the jet stream brings much of the annual precipitation to the region, and also brings the potential for heavy rain events.
The highest flood potential for long-rain floods is associated with a weather pattern that is often identified in the presence of so called 'Vb' cyclones.
Alerts were also issued for the Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo León and Coahuila, where officials warned people of the potential for heavy rains, flooding, and landslides.
