With the beautiful, cool weather finally making it to the deep South, there is still some time for leaf peeping in the lower part of the Appalachians, especially in the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia.
Since the changing colors of the leaves depends on the weather, the Southern States experience the fall foliage later than the Northeast.
USA Today has a great article, with plenty of interactive graphics, on why the leaves change color. Click on the link for a full explanation with pictures.
The weather forecast is pretty benign – not much going on – the next few days. This weekend computer models have storms blowing up on both the East and West Coasts.
We’ll see!
