Labor Day has passed and the amount of daylight is dwindling...two sure signs that fall is rapidly approaching.  The summer in the upper Midwest has featured temperatures below normal and precipitation mostly at or slightly below normal.  Because of this, we expect a fine foliage season in the region.

At this early stage of the foliage season, any fall color is limited to the early "show-offs" and trees in distress.  Watch for The Foliage Network reports throughout the fall to keep up to date with the latest foliage conditions.
