I don't recall any such prediction, but I don't track midwest weather. Source, please?
Weathermen, and meteorlogists, are not climatologists. The two types of science are related, but meteorologists depend on things staying much as they have in the past for their models, and their predictions, to work.
Thats why they talk in the language of hundred year storms and hundred year floods.
Weathermen, and weather predictors, are not typically even scientists, they are in the business of selling weather predictions.
But, if, as the climatologist's models are predicting, the climate is changing, you would EXPECT meteorology to fail more and more often in predictions.
