This fall foliage season has gotten off to a slow start in much of the state, with little progression in the last week. That may not be a bad thing, unless you have plans to visit the mountains this weekend which will be affected by the rain regardless. Unfortunately there are early indications that next…
Fall foliage season is always one that comes and goes so quickly. Just a few weeks ago it felt like we were just getting out of summer, and now we are days away from entering a full fledged fall pattern. Ample rainfall in much of the state over the summer and a recent as September,…
Fall foliage has started to pop across the commonwealth as the sun angle continues to lower, and cooler temperatures have been common. While today was rather warm, the next few weeks look cool and sunny – which will contribute to some vivid foliage. This weekend may bring some areas’ their first frost or freeze, but…
[quads id=1] In a few hours we will officially welcome in the Fall 2022 season, meaning daylight and darkness are equal in length. But the amount of daylight won’t be the only thing dropping, as a strong cold front will push southeast through the state today, ushering in much cooler air. This won’t be transient…
Warm conditions are coming to an end as we head into the heart of Fall. The next few weeks will feature temperatures commonly in the 40s and 50s, with ample rain chances as a few strong low pressure systems look to impact the region. Fall foliage is around its peak across much of Pennsylvania right…
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…
