A majority of Minnesota is now past peak, as is much of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. That said, ideal foliage viewing conditions remain throughout the remainder of the region. In Wisconsin, the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and the State of Ohio, foliage change ranges from moderate to peak. Get out and enjoy before the season is over!

Leaf drop continues to progress. Areas that are now past peak are reporting nearly complete leaf drop. Elsewhere in the region, the leaf drop is mostly moderate to high.
