Once again, very warm temperatures have made their way to the Northeast. On Friday, many locations reported high temperatures in the mid to upper 80's. These well above normal temperatures are stalling the foliage change. Conditions are well behind that of previous years. The lack of rain is also not helping matters. There are reports of some leaves only partially changing and then falling. This is not expected to be wide-spread, however.

An abundance of fall color can be found in much of northern New England and in the Adirondack Mountains in northeast New York. Other higher elevations in southern New England, southeast New York and in Pennsylvania are beginning to slowly progress with moderate color being reported.

Leaf drop is low to moderate across the region.
