164City of Lakewood54075USALakewood2015Frequent/Intense RainfallSeriousMedium-termMost published research suggests that annual streamflows in all of Colorado’s river basins could be decreased. Peak streamflows are projected to come earlier in the year, by one to three weeks by mid-century, and late summer flows are projected to decrease (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015).(39.7047°, -105.0814°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
165City of Lakewood54075USALakewood2015Frequent/Intense RainfallSeriousMedium-termBecause warmer air can hold more moisture, models project that extreme precipitation events will be augmented, even in areas where total precipitation may decrease. (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015).(39.7047°, -105.0814°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
166City of Lakewood54075USALakewood2015Storms/FloodsExtremely seriousShort-termBecause warmer air can hold more moisture, models project that extreme precipitation events will be augmented, even in areas where total precipitation may decrease. In Colorado, heavy storms may increase in winter but not necessarily in summer. (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015).(39.7047°, -105.0814°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
167City of Lakewood54075USALakewood2015Temperature Increase/HeatwavesExtremely seriousMedium-termStatewide average temperatures are projected to warm by +1.5°F to +4.5°F by 2050 under a scenario with low future emissions of heat-trapping gases, or by +3.5°F to +6.5°F with high future emissions. For later in the century, high emissions are projected to lead to continued further increases, to +5.5°F to +9.5°F. All these values are comparisons to 1971–2000 averages. (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015).(39.7047°, -105.0814°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
168City of Lakewood54075USALakewood2015Temperature Increase/HeatwavesSeriousMedium-termThe highest summertime temperatures are projected to increase even more than average temperatures.Both extremely hot days and heat waves could increase in frequency, potentially several-fold if future emissions are high. Heat-related illnesses and mortality could increase. Increased road maintenance needs and road closures from heat-related problems (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015).(39.7047°, -105.0814°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
169City of Lakewood54075USALakewood2015Temperature Increase/HeatwavesSeriousMedium-termThe frequency and extent of wildfires in Colorado are projected to increase. Projections range up to a several-fold increase in area burned annually in the state; however, projections based on statistical models may become less accurate the more that temperatures and other climatic factors change. An increase in wildfires likely would lead to more destructive flooding, as burned areas are more susceptible to flooding and runoff of sedimentation and debris (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015). Due to Lakewood's proximity to the mountains, this has significant implications regarding flooding.(39.7047°, -105.0814°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
