Fall foliage forecast for Pennsylvania
The DCNR forecasts Oct. 10-17 as the prime leaf-peeping week in northwestern Pennsylvania.
From this week’s statewide fall foliage report : “In Cornplanter State Forest district across Erie and Warren Counties, trees are now just beginning to show fall color along some roads and on the hillsides of northwest Pennsylvania. Some individual red maples are starting to display their colors, as are some of the understory shrubs and wildflowers. Goldenrods, asters and ironweed usher in the fall foliage season with a mix of yellow and purple. The region has had some warmer days but the nights have cooled. If this weather pattern continues it should produce a very good fall foliage season for northwest Pennsylvania. Fall foliage color is about 10-15 percent of maximum depending on location and local conditions. Some south facing slopes and open roadsides have color closer to 20 percent while other hillsides are still quite green. Peak color is expected October 10-17.”
