Lately, I have been getting crappy reception on almost all the stations, I believe due to the wind stirring up the falling leaves.
Yup, trees will do that to signals.

Can you show us some photos of what the trees look like from the N and SE?

What kind of reception do you get if you connect the attic antenna directly to the nearest TV as a test?

What direction is your attic antenna facing?

I understand this may not be possible, due to the antenna being in the attic and the house being surrounded by mature trees, but I would like to make the best effort possible.
It doesn't sound promising, but with a little more information from you we might be able to suggest some tests for you to try.
