Warmer than normal temperatures delayed the onset of fall foliage season about a week, but some of us are beginning to see changing foliage. Change has been most significant around and north of I-80, especially in the higher elevations near the NY border. Meanwhile in the lower elevations across the Susquehanna and Lehigh Valleys, little…
After a hot summer, temperatures have cooled somewhat slower than normal with the onset of Fall. Above average temperatures are expected for much of October, meaning fall foliage season will be a little behind schedule, but that does not mean we won’t see vibrant colors here in Pennsylvania. Recent heavy rain that has occurred in…
Fall foliage certainly did not disappoint this year, but the season is coming to a close in most of the state. However, from York into the Philadelphia region, peak color is still ongoing. The drought both helped and hurt this season, as colors were more vibrant but the season was cut short. Now, widespread leaf…
If you were not able to take in the fall foliage last weekend, fortunately this weekend will offer another excellent opportunity. Mainly dry weather is expected, with temperatures Saturday much warmer than Sunday. You’ll need a light jacket if heading outdoors Sunday. Peak fall foliage is now on display across much of eastern and southern…
This will be the best weekend of Fall 2020 to get out and enjoy the peak foliage in much of the state. Mostly sunny skies and cool temperatures are expected Saturday and Sunday, so there’s no time like the present! Colors across the northern tier continue to fade as peak color continues to drop south…
Fall foliage colors continue to ramp up across the state as we are near or at peak color in many areas. With foliage in the high mountains of the northern tier beginning to fade, best color is now being observed in high elevations throughout central and northern Pennsylvania. Ridges are about a week ahead of…
It is becoming clear, thanks to all the photos from those in northern PA where foliage colors are peaking, that the 2020 Fall Foliage Season will be the best in several years. We had the optimal conditions of warm days and cold nights, with mainly dry conditions. And going forward, we will continue to have…
Recent abnormally cold mornings combined with warm, sunny days and the dry conditions much of the state is experiencing have caused our fall foliage season to run a week ahead of schedule, as expected. While changes are just beginning for most of us, some parts of Pennsylvania are already nearing peak colors. Areas including the…
With temperatures cooling and crisp, chilly mornings becoming more common, our fall foliage season is soon to begin! This is something to be excited about, as Pennsylvania has a longer and more varied fall foliage season than anywhere else in the world! Plus, it gives us something to do outside after such a rough year…
Despite the recent warmth, we’ve seen some cold mornings which have helped keep foliage change on track. Moderate color is on display in the north-central mountains and the northern Poconos/southern Catskills. The rest of the northern third of the state and the Laurel Highlands have been seeing some low color break out in the past…
Another Fall season is set to begin at 3:50 AM this Monday, September 23rd. The past few weeks have been exceptionally dry here in Pennsylvania, and in the recent several days, we’ve seen some brisk mornings with temperatures in the 40s in much of the state. With the last few fall foliage seasons leaving much…
Fall colors didn’t make much progress this past week, due to well above average temperatures until Thursday. We expect fall foliage to really break out over the next two weeks throughout the entire state, thanks to the major pattern change. Moderate color persists in Northern PA, especially above 1300′ elevation. The Lower Susquehanna Valley and…
As warm conditions continue, fall foliage continues to be more and more delayed. There are a few areas of moderate color throughout the mountains of Northern PA. Low color is on display in much of Western PA, the central ridge and valley sections, and areas of the Poconos below 1500 ft elevation. Locations near and…
It is beginning to feel like fall, but we are still waiting for the foliage to respond in many areas! Due to a warm month, we are about 10 days behind when it comes to fall foliage. Fortunately, we still have what should be a good season lined up this year, after last year’s season…
