Atmospheric rivers are distinct from hurricanes, but some of the projected changes are similar - both atmospheric rivers and hurricanes should produce more rainfall in the future. Atmospheric rivers are projected to become more frequent, including over Florida, although this result may have some sensitivity to the method of defining atmospheric rivers. The changes in hurricane frequency are uncertain, but the most intense hurricanes are projected to become even more intense. So, at least by some measures, both atmospheric rivers and hurricanes affecting Florida are projected to become more intense in the future.
