this as the national oceanic and atmospheric administration says the u.s. has suffered more billion-dollar disastersfar this year than any other year since they started tracking them back in 1980. our cinthia pimentel joins us. the effects of climate change are really piling up this year? >> yeah, they really are ramping up. researchers say that we are starting to see the climate system finally catch up to some of the changes from the last couple of years. so what they're saying is that this summer and really this year, if you think about it as a whole, could be a sneak peek of future seasons and where we begin to see more of these extremes. let's start with the scorching and record-breaking temperatures over the last couple of weeks. these have been amplified by el nino, which is a natural cycle of warmer waters in the pacific. but el nino is just revealing the warmup that's been building over the last couple of years. early decades. as we take a look at this year so far, we can't forget about our record flooding at the beginning of the year. we've gone th

season, whether that be through flooding, wildfires, the devastating tornadoes we saw earlier this year, the national atmospheric and oceanic administration says there have been more than 15 events already this year that have totalled over $1 billion in damages. and now fema is saying they need more money or they're going to have to start prioritizing and putting ahead life saving operations over recovery operations. so some places that are devastated like maui, those recovery operations could be pushed into the next year if they don't get more funding. fema administrate deanne criswell spoke about this and the urgent need for more funding over the weekend. here's what she had to say. >> we do anticipate we'll have a shortage of funding at our current spending levels by mid september, and so what we will do is we will continue to push. we will push projects, recovery projects into the next fiscal year, so we always have enough money to support any of the immediate life saving needs. >> and chris, she says that that bill is to the tune of $12 billion. that's how much more money fema needs from congress in mid september if they're going to

the record ocean temperatures that help fuel stronger hurricanes versus a strong el nino that helps limit hurricane activity. just yesterday the national oceanic atmospheric administration upped the ante and increased the likelihood of an above average hurks sricane season. you can see after already having four named storms, any are anticipating for the entire season up to 21 named storms. that is a big difference from what they forecast in may. hurricanes between 6 and 11. and get this, two to five major hurricanes, that is category 3 strength or greater anticipated across the atlantic basin. typically when we have a strong he wiel nino like we do now, thn development region inhibits hurricane potential, it really kind of tears apart a hurricane. we do have these water temperatures that are running 2 to 4 and even 4 to 7 degrees farenheit above average. so we believe and so does noaa that this will actually win in this battle betweeo and record warmth. so that will help bring an above average season. here is the four named storms so far. we are we did have hurricane don. and peak of the season still to come, september 10, but it is really the week starting from next week all the way thro

the california since 1939. so this is not at all a common occurrence and as it does so resulting in the first tropical storm watch is up the coast of southern california ever issued by the national oceanic atmospheric administration so that is a pretty big deal. and as we see this rainmaker pushing its way up into southern california, could result in a very high risk of flash flooding. that is especially true down from palm springs. indio across the salton sea area on up towards death valley and the eastern sierra as we see very heavy rain in these areas know to san francisco in the bay area, not seeing the same potential. so a very different story for us that are southern california. neighbors. if you do have plans on heading south this weekend into next week, do note this heavy rainfall on the way. well, over 3 inches into early next week for los angeles and san diego, palm springs could iet up to 5 inches of rainfall in a very short period of time. and that would result in that potential of flash flooding areas like death valley, which only see at max 2 inches of rainfall in the entire year will well exceed if not double that in just the course of 24 to 48 hours. so a lot of rain and a very potentially about s

day, another dead whale was spotted in the atlantic before it watched ashore in long beach, new jersey. according to national oceanic and atmospheric administrationd along the east coast this year. since 2016, the east coast has seen the most whale strandings in the country. some new jersey politicians and animal advocates are blaming wind farm sonar mapping, which is used to build the wind turbines. that technologies was blamed more than 20 years ago after whales with bleeding ears were found in the caribbean. no definitive cause has been determined and noaa says there's no evidence proving the mapping is causing the deaths. now the biden administration has plans for 25 more offshore wind projects. new jersey congressman jeff van drew has been outspoken about his concerns about told fox news today every dead whale is a warning that she's should stop the projects. every dead whale is an admission that they do not truly care for the ocean or the millions of citizens that are worried about unknown impacts of air shore wind. the animal version of an autopsy will be performed on the two whales to try to find a cause for their deaths. >> martha: distu
