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 those conditions. The recent rainfall will help extend the foliage season slightly longer.

Higher elevations in central and northern Pennsylvania have reached peak color, while lower elevations in the same region still have some time until peak color. Southeast PA is beginning to report change, especially outside of the Philadelphia Area. Looking to plan a trip to your favorite fall foliage viewing spot soon? See the details below.

Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
