Fall Foliage Report – October 6th, 2018

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 south of the PA Turnpike below 1000 feet have yet to see much color change. We will have an update out Sunday on when we can expect temperatures to fall near average, which will finally bring color change.
