Experience Autumn Scenery at Its Finest: Top Spots for Capturing Beautiful Fall Foliage in the U.S. this Season

This autumn, leaf peepers in the United States are in for a bit of a mixed bag, according to AccuWeather. The forecast predicts vibrant, bright fall foliage colours across much of New England and the Midwest, while other regions may experience duller, more uniform tones.

In a statement, AccuWeather's Lead Long-Range Expert, Paul Pastelok, highlighted the drastic differences expected across the US this year. He explained that while some areas will boast vivid colours, others, including three fall tourism hotspots, are forecast to have a rather blander leafy landscape.

AccuWeather has predicted vibrant fall foliage across parts of 25 states, with vivid colours anticipated across much of New England and the Midwest. However, the Appalachians and the Northwest are forecast to experience dull autumn leaf colours.

The cause of this variation is attributed to the heavy rainfall and flooding that occurred this spring and summer. Insect and fungus damage can occur across southwest Pennsylvania, western Maryland and Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, extending to Mississippi and Alabama due to the excessive moisture.

Paul Pastelok advises leaf peepers not to wait too long to check out the leaves as they approach peak colour. He warns that this year's fall foliage may not last very long, making it essential to plan trips accordingly.

For those planning to visit the northeastern and midwestern United States this autumn, the forecast promises a spectacle of vibrant, bright fall foliage colours. On the other hand, those in the Appalachians and the Northwest may have to wait until next year for a more colourful autumn display.
