Atlanta, GA – Much of the Southeast could experience a warmer than normal start to November, with federal climate outlooks favoring above normal temperatures across Georgia, the Carolinas and portions of northern Florida from Nov. 1 5. Cities including Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh and Jacksonville fall within the broader warm temperature pattern, while precipitation prospects vary across the region.
According to NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, its six to 10 day outlook issued Monday, Oct. 26, favors above normal temperatures across a large portion of the southeastern United States during Nov. 1 5. The outlook indicates increased odds of temperatures averaging warmer than seasonal norms across northern Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and portions of Florida, although probabilities differ by location.
The temperature signal extends across several major population centers, including Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh and Jacksonville. While the five day period is favored to average warmer than normal, that does not mean every afternoon will exceed seasonal averages. The outlook also does not establish specific daily highs, overnight lows or record setting warmth.
Precipitation prospects are less consistent across the Southeast. The CPC outlook favors above normal precipitation across portions of the Carolinas and neighboring areas, while the signal becomes less definitive farther south toward Georgia and Florida. That distinction means a wetter than normal pattern cannot be applied uniformly across the entire region.
The combination of favored warmth and increased precipitation in some areas could support a mild, occasionally unsettled opening to November. However, the outlook does not establish a single storm system affecting the Southeast, widespread heavy rainfall or specific rain chances for Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh or Jacksonville.
A separate CPC hazards outlook issued Oct. 26 does not identify a widespread heavy precipitation or high wind threat across the southeastern United States during Nov. 3 9. The absence of a highlighted hazard does not rule out ordinary rainfall or changing weather conditions.
For now, residents from Atlanta and Charlotte east toward Raleigh and south into Jacksonville should expect above normal temperatures to be favored during Nov. 1 5, with rainfall trends varying by location. Updated National Weather Service forecasts should provide more precise daily temperatures and precipitation timing as the opening days of November approach.
