Areas of the country are already starting
00:02
to see signs of autumn.
00:03
Christina Schallhoop has a look at some of the best places
00:06
to get a front row seat for some spectacular fall foliage.
00:09
- If you, like me, have been begging for fall weather,
00:15
well at least know that Astronomical Fall
00:17
is just 11 days away, September 23rd.
00:20
I hope you're ready for it because, well,
00:22
this pumpkin spice queen certainly is.
00:24
On that note, let's take you to the AccuWeather exclusive
00:26
fall foliage outlook here.
00:28
You will only get this here on accuweather.com
00:31
and on the AccuWeather app.
00:33
Now in terms of the peak fall foliage color,
00:36
well, you might wanna book your excursions
00:38
into the Adirondacks, the Boundary Mountains of Maine,
00:40
and even the Northern Green and White Mountains
00:42
of Vermont and New Hampshire,
00:43
as it looks like late September
00:45
is when we will see those peak colors.
00:47
Similar situation for Northern Minnesota
00:49
and even out to the Rockies as well,
00:51
into the Bitterroot Range of Idaho,
00:53
we are going to see an earlier peak.
00:55
A little further south, the leaves peak a bit later.
00:58
Now I will say we have a great fall in store
01:01
for parts of the Northeast.
01:03
You can see that bright red depicting where the leaves
01:05
will not only be peaking a little earlier,
01:08
but they'll be vibrant.
01:09
Cities like Woodstock, Lake Placid,
01:12
out toward Bar Harbor, Maine, Portland into Boston,
01:15
it's going to be a really nice fall foliage year.
01:18
As we look a little further to the west,
01:20
it's a similar situation for cities like Minneapolis,
01:23
Fargo, and even into Green Bay and, ah, the UP.
01:27
That's a bucket lister for me.
01:28
Love to go to the Keweenaw Peninsula
01:30
to go check out the leaves.
01:31
At least you can do that for me
01:33
and then send your photos to AccuWeather on social media.
01:36
Just saying, it's a good idea.
01:37
Good news for the west as well.
01:39
A much more vibrant year when it comes to that fall foliage
01:42
than we had in 2022.
01:44
Enjoy.
