00:00 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.
