Forecasters are calling for an excellent fall foliage season in parts of the Northeast this year, thanks to ideal weather conditions over the summer.
Leaf peepers are most likely to find vibrant autumn leaves in the corridor stretching from southern New York to southern New England.
AccuWeather Meteorologist Max Vido said: “In this region, rainfall has not been as extreme from the summer months and near- to below-normal autumn rain is expected.”
“There is a greater likelihood for the dry, cool nights and sunshine-filled days that enhance leaf vibrancy,” he said.
The remainder of the East will struggle to develop to its full potential, with warmer and wetter-than-normal conditions in the forecast.
Vido said: “Across much of the Ohio Valley, mid-Atlantic and southern Appalachians, the long-range team is anticipating warmer and wetter conditions than normal.”
