The intensity and spatial extent of tropical cyclone precipitation (TCP)
often shapes the risk posed by landfalling storms. Here we provide a
comprehensive climatology of landfalling TCP characteristics as a function
of tropical cyclone strength, using daily precipitation station data and
Atlantic US landfalling tropical cyclone tracks from 1900-2017. We analyze
the intensity and spatial extent of ≥ 1 mm/day TCP (Z1) and ≥ 50 mm/day
TCP (Z50). We show that the highest median intensity and largest median
spatial extent of Z1 and Z50 occur for tropical storms that had been major
storms at some point during their lifetime, indicating greater flood risk
despite weaker wind speeds. We also find some signs of TCP change in
recent decades. In particular, for major hurricanes that have weakened to
minor hurricanes and tropical storms, Z50 intensity has significantly
increased, indicating possible increases in flood risk to coastal
communities in more recent years.
