Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Much of the U.S. Set for Extended Warmth as Temperatures Trend Above Normal for the Next Two Weeks
UNITED STATES — A broad warming trend is expected to take hold across much of the United States, including Florida and large portions of the Southeast, as temperatures trend above normal over the next one to two weeks.
Forecast outlook maps for the 6–10 day and 8–14 day periods show widespread warmer-than-average conditions stretching from the Gulf Coast through the Southeast, Midwest, and into the eastern United States. The pattern suggests a sustained period of mild to warm weather for much of the country.
Southeast and Florida Positioned for Consistent Warmth
According to the outlook, Florida and skilled surrounding states such as Georgia and South Carolina are firmly within the warmer-than-normal zone. The forecast indicates that above-average temperatures are expected to persist rather than arrive as a brief warm-up.
Meteorologists note that this pattern favors daytime highs running higher than seasonal averages, offering a noticeable break from recent cooler conditions across the region.
Warm Pattern Expands Across Central and Eastern States
Beyond the Southeast, the warming trend extends northward and westward across much of the central United States and into the Midwest and Northeast. Both the 6–10 day and 8–14 day outlooks consistently highlight a large area of above-normal temperatures covering a majority of the country.
This suggests a stable atmospheric pattern that supports prolonged warmth rather than short-lived temperature swings.
Western U.S. Remains Cooler by Comparison
The primary exception to the warming trend appears across the western United States. Outlook maps indicate cooler-than-normal conditions lingering in parts of the West, particularly in higher elevations where colder air and snowfall may continue.
This contrast creates a split pattern nationwide, with warmth dominating the East and cooler conditions persisting in the West.
What This Means Heading Toward Spring
Forecasters emphasize that while the outlook signals a favorable warming trend, it does not eliminate the potential for temperature variability as spring approaches. Still, the consistency across both forecast periods increases confidence that much of the Southeast will remain warmer than average through at least the next two weeks.
Residents are encouraged to enjoy the milder stretch while staying alert to future forecast updates as seasonal transitions continue.
