Atlanta, GA – Residents across the Southeastern United States can expect a stretch of warm, mostly dry weather from October 24 through October 28, 2025, according to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center’s latest 6–10 day outlook. The forecast points to above-normal temperatures dominating much of Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas, and northern Florida, with only limited rain chances across the region.
According to NOAA’s report issued October 18, the Southeast will remain under the influence of a broad ridge of high pressure, pushing daytime highs into the upper 70s and even low 80s in some southern areas. Overnight lows will stay mild, several degrees above seasonal averages, signaling an extended taste of late-summer warmth.
Precipitation chances are near to slightly below normal, particularly from Georgia through the Carolinas, where dry air will suppress widespread rain events. The exception may be portions of the central Gulf Coast, where isolated showers could develop late in the week. Otherwise, most of the Southeast will experience several days of sunshine and light winds.
Meteorologists note that this warm pattern aligns with a developing El Niño influence, which often steers moisture away from the eastern U.S. in early autumn. While the conditions are ideal for outdoor activities and late harvests, prolonged dryness may start to stress vegetation and lower stream levels.
