Pennsylvania Fall Foliage Report #6: Oct. 29th – Nov. 4th, 2020; Fall Foliage Season Winding Down In Most of PA

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.
