Atlanta, GA – Residents across the Southeast can expect an unusually wet start to August as forecasters predict above-normal precipitation for Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina during the week of August 1-7, 2025.
According to the National Weather Service’s 8-14 Day Precipitation Outlook released Thursday, a broad swath from central Florida through Georgia and the Carolinas is highlighted in green, indicating a 50-60% chance of higher than average rainfall. The increased precipitation could bring localized flooding, travel disruptions, and delays for outdoor events in major metro areas like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Orlando.
Meanwhile, temperatures in the Southeast are projected to remain near normal, helping to limit extreme heat but potentially creating humid and stormy conditions. Forecasters advise residents to be prepared for recurring showers and possible thunderstorms throughout the period, as tropical moisture feeds into the region.
City and county officials across the Southeast encourage drivers to exercise caution on slick roads and urge residents to monitor local forecasts, as heavy downpours could arrive with little warning. Emergency managers recommend checking storm drains and securing outdoor items ahead of expected rain.
