The combination of shorter days and cooler-than-average weather has really kick-started the color across the higher elevations in the past week, especially in the Adirondacks.
Color change has really expanded in the past week, especially across the Adirondacks where there are some reports from spotters of 30-40 percent color change.
Higher terrain spots outside of the Hudson and Mohawk Valley are beginning to see some color change as well. There is even some color change being reported in the Finger Lakes, which is earlier than normal.
If your travel takes you into New England this weekend, light color is being reported across New Hampshire with some moderate color change across the Green Mountains.
Whether you're hiking, camping, or heading out on your favorite lake this weekend, the weather looks excellent, though perhaps a bit cool.
This foliage blog will become more in depth in the coming weeks as the leaves continue to change. We love seeing your foliage pictures, so feel free to share them on social media or you can email them to us here!
