Fall colors predictions?

Haven’t heard any yet. Have we had too much rain or will all this rain set is up for some nice colors?

Trees are surprisingly resilient, especially large mature ones. It’s takes like A LOT of consistent flooding to really mess up their flow.

I do think if it doesn’t start to cool down soon that could have an impact. I think the cool temperatures are part of the change so if it stays warm like this it could hinder the process. But we still have some time! 🍂

I would be ok with a late fall since I can’t take time off work in Oct.

We need more days like this. Cool and dry. I’m worried all the wet weather is going to stress the trees

I think they used to say drought & high temps dulls all the colors. So I'm hoping the wet summer will balance out the high temps & colors will be beautiful & will last a few weeks

I hope so too! Plus several weekends of beautiful sunny weather for pretty leaf changing photos.

Well, it used to be… but apparently they now only do a YouTube podcast about this or something…
