On October 17, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources issued its fourth Fall Foliage Report with regional comments on factors influencing foliage changes.
The statewide peak for fall foliage is here!
Sustained seasonable to below-average temperatures continue to assist the transition to fall colors throughout the state.
Peak conditions range from the eastern Allegheny Plateau eastward to the southern Pocono region, including major parts of the eastern and southcentral Appalachians. Excellent color can also be found in the Laurel Highlands to the southwest.
This week’s wind is likely to remove many past-peak leaves in the northern tier. Fall color should be prime throughout much of the Commonwealth this week, but next week appears promising as well!
Don’t forget to look at the comments on foliage by region of the state.
