Read the article above. This is NOT a good thing, because the US is becoming more of a desert, which means people who have green and humid farm would have to move more east and condense. The Midwest has great soil and can produce a lot of food. For those of you who live in the western half of this country, you may be happy that humidity will die down in center of the country. I jumped when I saw this article saying to myself it's good that the US is getting better climate in the center of it, but I said to myself that we humans have really ruined the Earth and look what we did.
You will definitely be affected, because all of Texas and Kansas will turn into a desert, instead of just the western half being a desert. Who knows if the climate boundary shift can affect inland Missouri.
This is actually totally believable. I'm in Dallas and the rate at which the state gets very very dry almost immediately after passing Forth Worth is crazy meanwhile areas an hour east of Dallas are significantly more moisture rich.

Does the state feel comfortably dry in your area since the humidity is dying away?
My suburb of Dallas averages a little over 40" of rain per year (more than Seattle annual rain fall). It's very humid here. July and August still ends up brown many years from high temps and little rain. The humidity definitely drops way down going west of Fort Worth. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future.

I assumed the same, but in 2004 we had a very wet summer, and the native vegetation still turned brown. Then, in late August, everything turned green and flowered, like a second spring. I suspect that the particular species of native grasses in the DFW area turn brown no matter what as part of a defense against normal droughts.
