This first week of October should be "Peak" time to see the colors in our area with great weather expected for the week.

A little color change so far, about 10-20% of trees have started to change. With cooler days and the little rain we are having, the colors should soon be "popping".

Two "frosty" mornings in a row should help to usher in the "leaf turning season.
