With October just around the corner, our expectations grow with the thought of the upcoming fall foliage. This year though, may be a tough one. The April freeze and continued drought conditions may not allow some leaves to even make it to the peak of the season in late October. The remaining leaves might even be delayed in changing due to the late season heat. Fall foliage is indeed hard to predict because of so many different weather conditions that can occur near the peak of the season. The peak is usually from late October to early November in the Tennessee Valley. In the higher elevations, the peak is usually in mid-late October. Here is a link to a very interesting article which sheds some light on what could occur with the fall foliage this year.
