With the month of October right around the corner, and the cooler fall nights already starting, the colors of autumn are going to become more vivid in the coming weeks.

According to AccuWeather’s fall foliage predictions, which map out recent and upcoming weather patterns across the United States, upstate New York, northern Pennsylvania, and wide swaths of the Midwest are the best places to plan your leaf peeping adventures this year.

Peak fall foliage in Western Washington will be here before you know it. Why it matters: Your window to view the bright hues may be trickier to predict, as climate change impacts when leaves change — and how colorful they get.

Fall has officially begun in Oregon but you wouldn’t know it by the weather in Portland this week. Regardless of the high temperatures, the leaves are beginning to change color, especially in counties along the Washington border.
