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, along with plenty of sunshine this week are making for vibrant foliage colors.
Of course, it’s still early! The northern mountains and down through the Laurel Highlands have jumped very quickly to near peak color, and are expected to reach peak color by next week!
Elsewhere in the lower elevations of northern and western Pennsylvania, some tree species are beginning to transition to yellows. Peak fall foliage in these areas are still two weeks away.
Down in south central and southeast Pennsylvania, virtually no change has occurred yet.
Area A: Many tree species have transitioned to yellows, oranges, and even reds, with peak fall foliage expected October 8 – 14th.
Area B: Some tree species have transitioned to yellows and oranges. Peak fall foliage is still a couple weeks out, and is expected October 15th – 21st.
Area C: Very few tree species have changed to yellows and oranges. Peak fall foliage is anticipated October 21st – 28th.
