The last month has seen numerous flash flooding events across the country including Dallas, St. Louis, eastern Kentucky and even Death Valley. As the planet warms, flooding events like these are becoming more common and extreme. 

Dr. Rosimar Rios-Berrios, a research meteorologist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, joins the Lee Weather Team on this week's episode to discuss the science behind flooding and what's expected in the future.

Rios-Berrios is also a member of Science Moms, an organization of climate scientists and mothers who are helping other moms better understand climate change. She discusses her work with the organization and what people can do to help slow down global warming.
