Atlanta, GA – Residents across the Southeast U.S. should prepare for a wet start to August, as forecasters predict above-normal rainfall for Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas during the week of August 1-7, 2025.
Increased Rainfall Across the Southeast
According to the National Weather Service’s 8-14 Day Precipitation Outlook, a broad region from central Florida to Georgia and the Carolinas is highlighted in green, indicating a 50-60% chance of higher-than-average rainfall.
The increased rainfall could lead to localized flooding, travel disruptions, and potential delays for outdoor events in major cities like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Orlando.
Humid and Stormy Conditions
Despite the rain, temperatures in the Southeast are expected to stay near normal, which will help limit extreme heat but could create humid and stormy conditions. Recurring showers and thunderstorms are expected, fueled by tropical moisture moving into the region.
Safety Tips for Southeast Residents
City and county officials across the Southeast are advising drivers to be cautious on slick roads and urging residents to stay updated with local forecasts.
Heavy downpours could arrive suddenly, so it’s important to check storm drains and secure outdoor items ahead of the rain. Emergency managers recommend taking extra precautions, especially in flood-prone areas.
