Ready or not for sweater weather, Fall is officially here.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released its new three-month outlook for the end of 2023.

Here are the key takeaways:

  • The new official forecasts for October, November, and December show Winston-Salem has equal chances of seeing above normal temperatures and below normal temperatures.
  • The agency previously predicted a warm fall for the vast majority of the country, including the Twin City.
  • Our entire state remains in the area with a higher probability of seeing more rain than normal this time of year.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac anticipates temperatures being warmer than normal, but it predicts less rain than usual in our area this season.

And if you’re wondering when the colorful foliage might appear this season, this interactive map predicts leaves in Winston-Salem will be most vibrant the week of Oct. 23.
