The fall foliage season is progressing at a moderate pace due to fluctuating temperatures and dry conditions in some areas. Drought-stressed trees are showing early color changes, but widespread peak foliage is not expected until early October. Visitors planning trips to view the foliage should be aware that the current conditions may result in a less vibrant display in some regions. The timing and intensity of the foliage will depend on upcoming weather patterns, particularly nighttime temperatures.
