Which risk increases when atmospheric river streams stall?

💡 Explanation

Extreme and localized fluvial flooding is a risk precisely because stationary atmospheric rivers produce intense, sustained precipitation over an area, triggering flash floods rather than widespread drought mitigation from gradual, even rainfall.
