The foliage season continues to slowly wind down in northern New England and in much of upstate New York. Many locations in these areas have now passed peak. In southern New England however, the foliage show continues with high color and peak conditions throughout. In New York, much of the western portion of the state and the Hudson Valley continue to show high to peak color. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, foliage conditions range from moderate color to peak, with small pockets that have passed peak. As mentioned in the last report, many locations throughout the Northeast still have trees that a completely green, even where peak has passed! This is highly unusual and has made the task of reporting rather deceiving. These reports are reflective of the overall condition of the foliage.

Leaf drop across the Northeast is mainly moderate to high. Those areas reporting past peak conditions are noting nearly complete leaf drop. The highest elevations in New Hampshire and northern Maine have complete leaf drop.
