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 drop has occurred slightly early because of the drought that persists in much of the state.

This weekend will be chilly with highs in the 40s Saturday, but mostly sunny for those looking to get outside before the colder weather comes.

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!
