Week 3 - Fall Foliage Report: Warmer Temps Slowed Transition, But Next Week Should Begin To Pop!

Above-average temperatures last week again stunted the foliage transition, however; decreasing day length has spurred noticeable changes throughout the state, according to the latest Fall Foliage Report from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources

Pockets of color have been observed in all Pennsylvania counties and peak foliage has been reported in the northeast.

The cool, seasonal temperatures predicted to envelope the state beginning tomorrow should spur a fantastic and relatively rapid foliage change statewide.

Next week’s Fall Foliage Report (and hence, the landscape) should be popping with color!

Visitors can get suggestions about the best spots to view fall foliage on the Penn's Woods Fall Foliage story map and on the Pennsylvania Tourism Office website.
